exclusion and contempt culminated in forced sterilization under the nazis. this documentary examines the few traces that we made of their existence we call them the children. storage january 11th on d w. look up. u.s. government wants julian assange to face charges that could see him jail for up to 175 years for leaking secret documents 10 years ago these lawyers say the government only wants him because he revealed evidence of u.s. war crimes and human rights abuses well today a british judge cited mostly with the u.s. government but still refused his extradition because of mr saunders fragile mental health so what happens next i'm phil gale in berlin and this is the day.
9:31 pm
today is a victory for julian it's a victory and. everybody everyone that wants this today's victory is the 1st step towards justice in this case it is time for the united states to shut down extraordinary prosecution which has free speech. now not. explore. undergoing the most frightful 1st. experiences and then. mr president tear down. enough is enough we've had enough of this regional in. the press. corps on the great trump on tape the u.s. president of precious they talk and that's an official in the u.s. state of georgia to find him enough votes to overturn his election loss we took the
9:32 pm
call. conversation he did most of the talking to most listeners but i did want to make the data that he has is just plain wrong. welcome to the day a british judge has ruled that wiki leaks founder julian assange cannot be extradited to the united states to face espionage charges the judge said that x. . addition would be oppressive to mr soldier's mental health the u.s. says it will appeal to julian associates an australian citizen sheltering in britain from the us government and could face prison sentences of up to 175 years. no sooner had used trickled out of the court room and his supporters began celebrating and chanting. the static that after 10 years of legal fights they had some form of victory. we welcome today's decision we are
9:33 pm
relieved that mr sands will not be extradited to the united states we share concerns about his health and his mental health we have been highlighting this for quite some time that he has been vulnerable that we have we have stated and i'll repeat today that his extradition was a possible matter of life or death. earlier songes team began the day with low expectations. for. his fiance had called on donald trump to pardon the father of her 2 children. he arrived at the court in the back of this high security back. inside the courtroom the judge dismissed most of assad his defense but she conceded that his mental health was such that to extradite him would be oppressive. by many people legal battle began with a video that shocked the world classified footage of u.s. apache attack helicopters killing iraqi civilians and journalists released by
9:34 pm
a song that will shape an understanding of what the past 6 years of war is being why. the u.s. accused him and wiki leaks of being enemy combatants. for the past decade through thick and fear in a songe always maintained he was a journalist. the saga is not over yet the u.s. government said it will appeal today's decision. well today's court ruling follows the highly critical 5 weeks of nils that melts the un special rapporteur on torture he sounded the alarm on the state of julian associates health after visiting him in britain's belmarsh high security prison with a team of doctors today on twitter mr assad his lawyer or not i feel or i thought the un team for their efforts saying it and probably saved the wiki leaks founder as life nils meltzer spoke with the w today and told us what prompted him to get involved in this case. in the
9:35 pm
beginning i refused to actually get into this case because i was very much marked by the same prejudices that the broader public have been affected by to the mainstream press reporting on this recipe for 10 years it was only when i started to actually look into pieces of evidence to see that that whole narrative that had been spread about him for so long. was not supported by evidence and that's what triggered my interest in this case and i've been visited him together with a medical team and belmarsh prison and we found that he showed all the symptoms that are typical for persons that have been exposed to psychological torture for a prolonged period of time it's important to clarify that obviously modern forms of torture. cannot be compared to the kind of medieval forms of physical torture it is very much a cumulative process of destabilizing people through isolation. and really a sion itself judicial harassment which and i mean by this judicial proceedings
9:36 pm
that are not based on law but they're being conducted for political purposes we're prostitute all rights are systematically being violated and so the person is being destabilized systematically they're seeing that in many countries in the world many regimes that try to use torture methods that don't be physical process and in the end it breaks a person and we actually have a confirmation of that precise process in today's judgment because it confirms that julian offense mental health is so fragile today that he cannot even be extradited to the u.s. without risking his suicide and that actually confirms that his mental health has deteriorated dramatically and that's also what we have observed together with my medical t. . well mills and mount sinai is also edging donald trump to padan jonas homes during his final weeks as president not call has been echoed by another man but
9:37 pm
u.s. prosecutors a keen to extradite edward snowden today on twitter mr snowden welcome the new decision saying that this be the end of it. well with less than 3 weeks left of his presidency don't trump apparently still hopes to overturn his election defeat to joe biden over the weekend recording emerged mr trump pressing officials in georgia to change the outcome of the state's presidential election georgia has already counted its ballots 3 times and has certified biden's win by 11779 votes but donald trump remains adamant that he won the race is an excerpt of that call obtained by the washington post well luckily all i want to do is as i use one of. the. $11780.00 loves which is one more that we have
9:38 pm
because we want to say the people of yours you're angry at the people of the country arriving and there's nothing wrong with saying that you know. 2 that you've recalculated well mr president determines that you have is the data you have is wrong phone call has outraged democrats and even a few republicans several lawmakers have called for the f.b.i. to open a criminal investigation mr trump's comments also drew condemnation from vice president elect kamel harris. certainly then. and it was. the old views of how and why the president of the united. well that's picked that up with gloria j. brown marshall who's an associate professor of constitutional law at the city
9:39 pm
university of new york's john jay college of criminal justice the latest book is called she took justice the black woman law and power she joins us from new york city you know welcome back to day doubly so did president trump do anything illegal in that call to broad raffensperger not so much illegal and that she abuses hours president he wasn't peach this time about this time last year so this would have been an impeachable offense the problem is he skirted the law he presented evidence to make it appear is though he was asking based on evidence not just abuse of power so therefore even though some people have said it was an out in out crime i would have to say constitutionally it was an abuse of power was it a criminal misuse of power i think it might be difficult but i do believe that when he says the american people and the people of georgia are outraged they're outraged
9:40 pm
with his behavior and his desperation and not so much outraged by the fact that he's still trying to cling onto power and he deserves it i think he is the illusion when it comes to that ok now as part of this call mr trump warns of georgia's republican secretary of state but by refusing to recalculate the presidential vote in the state he would deter fellow republicans from voting in tuesday's runoff senate elections why is a bed the georgia runoff. taking up so much political oxygen. because in this country there are $100.00 senators and right now it would be a $5050.00 split in the senate with democrats and republicans having equal power in the senate the senators sit for 6 years and want term 6 year terms and so therefore
9:41 pm
for the next 6 years there would be equal power in the senate and a democratic controlled house and a democrat in the white house and so the senate has been backing up george not just what georgia has been doing as far as some of the republican controlled you know maneuverings and political circles but has been backing down trump and backing out a very conservative agenda backing these conservative u.s. supreme court justices it would be a turn around well turn around for power ok so when we heard in that call in the subset that are out there we heard brad ruff and spec is standing up to the president a lot of people saying that he's a hero but his critics are saying that this is a man who has presided over a state election system that has disenfranchised black and brown voters it's not fair yes it is and here is you know basically the roosters have
9:42 pm
come home because the republicans especially have been following almost in a cult like fashion i jim jones captain of chaos and down truck to the point in which now they're they've got this phone over the press apiece and so the same people who are willing to disenfranchise african-americans latinos and other voters of color have now found this this dog is going back to bite them and bring us not sorry to interrupt you but briefly what did they do in georgia to disenfranchise. they did 3 major things one they had a limited number of places for people to vote so the lines were hours long to vote in this democracy on the hill the 2nd thing they did was to make sure that people had to have photo id they had to make sure that they had the exact same signature on the signature line that they had been initially started to vote and it could have been 20 years ago they filled out all voter registration cards and the last
9:43 pm
thing they did was to send out this information about the canvas will be on anything you would find in unusual for the gore campaign so that this information everything that took place was supposed to undermine the black voters and of course find people with felony convictions and try to disenfranchise them from voting so there was a lot that went into the undermining of the black vote and that's why v.c. place and land said the true a philadelphia places where there are majority black voters they were the ones who voted for biden and that's why they're the focus of donald trump's revenge so given the how divided and indeed finely balanced the u.s. political system is at the moment when he's president joe biden will have to fight for every vote every piece of legislation he wants to pass what's he going to have to sacrifice what are the big things he'll have to sacrifice to get a little done. that's why these 2 senators in georgia are so
9:44 pm
important because if he has a republican controlled senate he won't get anything done nothing will be able to get passed but if you can do something about climate change if you can make decisions about criminal justice reform we need national criminal justice reform to keep these by police officers from murdering people of color in particular african-americans and change criminal justice laws we need to make sure that when it comes to this the coronavirus we have no leadership we're being dot we're dying in such high numbers of being you know has cast aside for the most part are cast aside and donald trump focuses on stealing the white house and people are dying by by a 1000 sometimes 3000 a day so we need something to happen with coronavirus there's so much that needs to be done and hopefully we can get back to the economy that's falling apart so he might just get a little bit done but it's a lot more and when they really get done in the last 2 months since we've had this
9:45 pm
election thank you for joining us good talking to gloria jerry brown marshall from the john jay college of criminal justice thank you. to is there is a special runoff election will decide whether joe biden can push his agenda through congress democrats will soon hold the white house on the house of representatives but if republicans control the senate they're likely to frustrate the new president at every turn so here's the current balance of power in the senate where republicans have a $51.00 of the $100.00 seats democrats and 2 independent allies hold $48.00 seats so it's a power in the senate democrats need to win both of the georgia seats currently off for grabs where vice president elect to come a couple harvests at deciding vote that would create a majority of $51.00. a close look at the contestants in that georgia runoff 2 democrats john also often raphael warnock and 2 republicans they've had enough and
9:46 pm
that kelly. and david you so the polls show the party's neck and neck with the democrats having a slight advantage so d w so all of a solid reports now from georgia is crucial vote. it's people like julius hall who the democrats are now pinning their hopes on these among thousands of activists getting out the vote across georgia. african americans might be the decisive force in this runoff you know on. campus and they are trying to get there by the get out and vote we've been behind so long in this country. and so when you get a sense of you were on the rise and things are happening where we are there is some inclusion and then you get a clown that takes office for 4 years which is donald trump now we get rid of him and we feel like we can over again. john also as one
9:47 pm
of 2 democratic candidates it's a race the 33 year old senate hopeful must win for the democrats to gain control of congress. right now. in america because the stakes are high and so are his goals. establishing health care as a human right in the united states investing in clean and renewable energy to create jobs and solve the environmental crisis passing a new civil rights act to secure equal justice for all regardless of the race the run of his a big opportunity for democratic hopeful john also in his attempt to unseat the republican incumbent david perdue at the runnels remain a neck and neck race in georgia. has been a republican stronghold for decades and john also knows the fate of the biden presidency lies in his hands. on the republican side senator ted cruz wants to
9:48 pm
stop congress from certifying biden's victory he's under fire from democrats for his push to throw out the election results and he's rallying for turnout in georgia . and. i've got faith and confidence in the middle women of georgia i think the people of georgia believe in commonsense values they believe in low taxes low regulations and lots of jobs and i think the people of georgia want to see a check and a balance on the extreme left wing. former trump campaign manager corey $11.00 he took the stage among several other big republican names like former senior white house adviser kelly and call it was the spaces remained half empty after weeks of baseless claims of all voter fraud some conservatives are skeptical about the electoral process all of us are concerned that is our event going to
9:49 pm
count doesn't matter because i really do believe that that just like with the national election there's a chance that they are going to be able to you and then you feel like the dominion south or machines again here in gwinnett county georgia right now i've lived here for 30 years and there is no way on god's green earth that this county went democrat in the general election. less republican turnout more democratic turnout a scenario that activists julius hall is hoping for on election day. after the i think kingdom which is facing a severe wafer of covered infections which threatens to overwhelm its public health system that has prompted the government to take additional action to combat a new fast spreading corona virus variant today scotland imposed tight new measures
9:50 pm
now u.k. prime minister barak's johnson has announced a national lockdown for england until at least the middle of february as i speak to you tonight our hospitals are under more pressure from the anytime since the start of the pandemic with most of the country already under extreme measures it's clear that we need to do together to bring this new variant under control while our vaccines are rolled out in england we was there for going to a national lockdown which is tough enough to contain this barrier and that means the government is once again instructing you to stay at home while the new restrictions kyra the end of a day that started with a glimmer of hope for the arrival of a 2nd covered 19 vaccine in the u.k. the shot was developed in coordination in cooperation between oxford university and
9:51 pm
british pharmaceutical company astra zeneca it could prove to have an edge for some countries who are struggling to deploy mass immunizations. a milestone for britain as it became the 1st country to administer the oxford astra zeneca vaccine more than half a 1000000 doses have been made available for the 1st 24 hours alone it comes as britain struggles with a surge in corona virus infections including a highly contagious variant this 82 year old was 1st in the queue for the jap. goal of the vaccine means everything to reopen it to more and more and it's only why getting back to normal lawyer. you know all this forces turn. and it was a proud moment for this oxford alumnus who was next in line. but it's
9:52 pm
wonderful and it's good to be able to tell all the people who want to hear this it's a good way to get it done quickly as quickly as you can. britain has called it a scientific triumph the shot is less expensive and is easier to store than other covert 19 vaccines. but some are proceeding with caution it has yet to be approved in the e.u. and france says data for the job is insufficient you spoke with a viral just in the u.k. who said the information has not been made available. to data that may be of rules for this vaccine is only belonging to the government that is not publicly available and according to the government is like this that if the 1st nose is given the person there is around 70 percent of the k.c. and then if it is the 2nd those given that it will be around 80 percent efficacy. actually months but that is something that we haven't seen the debt as so therefore
9:53 pm
all is in the air and we don't really know how executions would it be particularly after the 1st dose. the european medicines agency has said it is unlikely that the astra zeneca vaccine will be approved for the e.u. in january. here in germany media reports are suggesting the country's about to extend its lockdown till the end of january this is ahead of a meeting between chancellor i'm going to machall and the country's 16 regional leaders on tuesday weeks of tougher restrictions have so far failed to bring down infection rates many parts of public life including restaurants shops on schools remain closed. monday was meant to be the 1st day back at school after the christmas holidays but classrooms across germany remained empty most students saw their vacation time extended until january 10th well others attended classes virtually calls are growing across the country 1st schools to stay closed even
9:54 pm
longer or to only open partially in berlin opinions on the matter very. thank you note that i have 2 children myself one in high school and one in elementary school i think schools should remain closed a little longer even though it's difficult for us parents. perhaps we can find a good balance with some learning at home and others allowed to be in school. i think that as long as the lockdown stays in place and i expect it will be extended children should stay at home. hope for a return to normal lives with the vaccine germany has so far administered almost 266000 jobs but the government is coming under pressure it's vaccination program has been criticized for being slow and chaotic but act the man who coordinated the construction of berlin 6 vaccination centers says he would like to see more doses
9:55 pm
available. we clearly don't have an effect scenes for all vaccination centers to be operational my whole poor my expectation is that we'll have a lot of vaccine doses soon on the one hand though it was also good to be able to phase in the vaccination centers in phases one after the other but if you initial problems are to be expected. germany is still under lockdown and will remain so for at least another week chancellor american will meet with the state premiers on tuesday to the site on the way forward new cases and deaths have remained high over the holiday period and the situation in germany is hospitals is very difficult all signs point to an extension of the current lockdown. i'm not was that day as ever they conversation continues online you can find us on twitter at the w. news don't forget to use the hash tag of the day have a good day. plus a safe. oh

this is a w. news live from julian a soldier avoids actually addition to be anointed states supporters of the brits found us celebrated as a british judge finds little fault with the u.s. prosecutor's case but says extradition to the u.s. would be oppressive because of the mental hollywood calls also on the program boris johnson says britain has reached a critical moment in the pandemic the prime minister announces a return to a hard national lockdown on the same. rolls out. i'm tirant says because resumes uranium enrichment activities and his reach 20 percent
10:01 pm
threshold set out from the treasury 15 to commute. welcome to the program. a court in london has ruled that wiki leaks founder julian assange cannot be extradited to the united states to face espionage charges as this would be oppressive and damages bantul health mistress' argues an australian citizen could face up to 175 years in jail if the us successfully appeals his lawyers have applied for him to be released on bail meanwhile mexico has offered to grant him political asylum. with news trickling out of the courtroom came chants of celebration from julian assange just supporters the static that
10:02 pm
after 10 years of legal fights they finally had some form of victory parade. this protects him from extradition in the united kingdom. but it doesn't protect you from extradition elsewhere around the world there isn't it is time for the united states to shut down this extraordinary prosecution which has massive free speech implications and i certainly hope that this will be the end of this case and. fairly or a scientist team began the day with a low expectations. for. his fiance called on donald trump to pardon the father of their 2 children. that's not actually a stranger suffering in isolation as an unpredicted prisoner march prison as long as our children continue to be proud of their father's love and affection. and i feel the great. thing will celebrate today.
10:03 pm
inside the courtroom the judge dismissed most of the scientist defense but she conceded that his mental health was such that it extradite him would be oppressive . here where it is a lengthy legal battle began with a video that shocked the world the sondra least classified footage of u.s. apache helicopters killing iraqi civilians and journalists. more shade an understanding of what the past 6 years of war that's being wiped. the u.s. accused him and wiki leaks of being enemy combatants for the past decade through thick and thin always maintained that he was a journalist. the saga is not over yet the u.s. government has said it will appeal today's decision. let's take a closer look at this with rebecca vincent who's director of international campaigns the reporters without borders. welcome to day w.
10:04 pm
this is an odd sort of victory children are so much want to have been extradited if he'd been in better mental health. absolutely and so while we are relieved as reporters without borders that he will not be extradited which is good news for mr assad and his family the rest of the decision that we heard today was quite concerning all of the substantive points really the judge found overwhelmingly in the prosecution's favor she rejected key aspects of the defense including points that we firmly believe that reporters without borders such as the fact that this case is politically motivated and that it centers on journalism so we were deeply disappointed with that substance because that means that the door is that left open for possible future similar prosecutions of other publishers journalists and sources and so what is it about about this case that so concerned you because we must all be the law even journalists. so the question with journalism is always
10:05 pm
if something is in the public interest defense right so in the you it us the as be an arch act under which 17 of the charges against mr assad stem from lack of the public and just events had he been sent to the us to face trial there he would have been unable to defend himself as with any other publisher journalist or source that could be prosecuted under those charges so that very law needs reform otherwise the door is left open for future manipulation against journalists and when you look at the substance of this case really not all of the misperceptions about mr assad not all of the other things that have happened in the year sense but what was actually being considered in these extradition proceedings he did not break the law in any way that the u.s. government's official me proved we have monitor it's the entire extradition proceedings here including the week of legal arguments in february and the 4 weeks of evidence heard in september and so far we have still not seen any credible evidence from the u.s. government for the vast majority of the accusations it makes against mr astonished
10:06 pm
he said that the u.s. government has not proved its case but surely that's what a court case is for. well not if the case is political and so that was one aspect of today's decision that we were most disappointed with is the judge dismissing that because this was absolutely politically motivated we firmly believe that mr sonner was targeted for his contributions to journalism for publishing information in the public interest that exposed work crimes and other illegal behavior by the u.s. government now a political offense and itself is meant to be a bar to actually dition from the u.k. and that is one aspect that we really disagree with the judge's decision here today that in another cell should have been enough to stop him being extradited but if the u.s. government contends mr assad's use revelations of course informants and lives ops risk then someone should be accountable for that. well that is one area that the u.s.
10:07 pm
government systematically failed to prove they have not in 10 years showed evidence of a single person that has been physically harmed as the result of the publication of the leaks document and i'm sorry in 10 years and with the vast resources that the u.s. government has put into pursuing mistress had there been any credible evidence of any of this harm they would have submitted it to the court for scrutiny but they did not and quite the contrary we heard actually in september evidence from those who actually the publication of the leaks documents helped their own human rights cases in fact there was one case of the torture victim somebody who had been the result of the results of mistaken identity had been rendered and tortured by u.s. forces and so this is the sort of information that was exposed by the leak cables it is these acts that should be prosecuted not the publication of the documents themselves thank you so much for joining us rebecca vincent from reporters without borders and to some of the other stories making news around the world we'll start
10:08 pm
with saudi arabia which is planning to open its sea and land borders with qatar it's a 1st step towards ending a diplomatic crisis that's deeply divided u.s. allies in the region since 2017 the lifting of the embargo paves the way for qatar's ruler to attend tuesday's summit of gulf leaders in saudi arabia iran says it has resumed enriching uranium up to 20 percent by goes well beyond the threshold set by the 2015 nuclear deal with major world powers the decision coincides with increasing tensions between iran and the u.s. is expected to complicate efforts by u.s. president elect joe biden to rescue the deal. british prime minister boris johnson has announced a new nationwide lockout for england until at least a made february in order to combat a fast spreading new coronavirus variant and a national t.v. address mr johnson said the country is at a critical moment with cases rising rapidly in every region he told people to stay
10:09 pm
at home and said that all schools are nonessential shops would close their eyes what follows a warning from england's chief medical officer that the country's health system could be overwhelmed in the next $21.00 days unless action is taken. meanwhile the 1st immunizations with the newly approved astra zeneca convert 19 vaccine began in the u.k. today with its developers hailing that product is cheaper and easier to distribute the alternatives the shot was developed as a collaboration between oxford university and multinational pharmaceutical company astra zeneca. a milestone for britain as it became the 1st country to administer the oxford astra zeneca vaccine more than half a 1000000 doses have been made available for the 1st 24 hours alone it comes as britain struggles with a surge in corona virus infections including a highly contagious variant this 82 year old was 1st in the queue for the jab.
10:10 pm
go. to more and more in the. normal world. you know this forces turbo. and it was a proud moment for this oxford alumnus who was next in line. is it's wonderful and it's good to be able to tell. all the people who want to. get it quickly and as quickly as you can. britain has called it a scientific triumph the shot is less expensive and is easier to store than other covert 19 vaccines. but some are proceeding with caution it has yet to be approved in the e.u. and france says data for the job is insufficient. spoke with a viral just in the u.k.
10:11 pm
who said the information has not been made available. to data that may be of rule for this vaccine is only belonging to the government that is not publicly available and according to the government is like this that if the 1st nose is given the person there is around 70 percent of the k.c. and then if it is the 2nd those given that it will be around 80 percent efficacy. at 3 months but that is something that we haven't seen the debt as so therefore all is in the air we don't really know how ethical issues would it be particularly on. the european medicines agency has said it is unlikely that the astra zeneca vaccine will be approved for the e.u. in january. a little more than on iran which is resuming and reaching your radio up to 20 percent well beyond the 2015 nuclear deal in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions that deal required iran to limit its production to low enriched uranium suitable only for civilian use since
10:12 pm
a president trump withdrew the u.s. from the deal when $29.00 t. . incrementally violate the limitation latest move coincides with increasing tensions between iran and the u.s. and he's expected to complicate efforts by u.s. president elect joe biden to rescue the 2015. corporation. we'll take a closer look at this with trita parsi who's an expert on the u.s. iran relations at the quincy institute for responsible statecraft that's a washington based think tank welcome to d w m does this latest a breach of the 2050 deal matter i given that appears to be dead one i don't think. is dead i think there is a decent chance for it to come back on track once biden becomes president later this month but this. reduction of iran's obligation this breach is highly
10:13 pm
problematic this was a very central tenet of the way it was critical to make sure that the iranians would refrain from enriching up 20 percent and certainly stockpiling 20 percent you and but at the same time it is an easily reversible decision the iranians can very easily stop doing this and they can very easily ship out whatever small amounts to may enrich to that level and the iranians have already indicated that that is what the intent to do if the u.s. under biden comes back into the deal without any preconditions so to serious that this may have been some posturing ves of the divine administration i'm sure they're not happy about it but this could come much worse if the by administration doesn't go back into the deal because then this will be a trend rather than an instance so yesterday was the anniversary of the u.s. drone strike that killed the iranian general custom soloman the donald trump is
10:14 pm
a president clinging to power how much do you think those factors influence to iran's move. i think they are 2 connected because what you have is that inside of iran there's been a lot of criticism against iranian government an argument that the rouhani government has not responded to many of these different measures by the trumpet ministration that the iranians view as highly provoke from vocative such as the assassination of saline mani this estimation resulted by the israelis and their argument is that the rouhani government's restraint has actually invited further attacks so it could have been a move that is primarily driven by domestic you ronny in politics and measure like this in order to appease those voices while at the same time not provide the trumpet mr ition with a pretext to escalate matters further and certainly not to drag this towards a military confrontation was just a policy from the quincy institute for responsible state craft speaking to me and
