willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone has signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people i've seen stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam and polystyrene these batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between brom pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about the onus is from their exposure from the berm pits woodbridge literally send a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting and decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. cultural to get the middle finger to move years to. moralists. delayed america will be done.

from food thing. going to. actually. going to. well the lawyers for our client contacted. the hell. out of new york. and they were ignored. which is not right it's not proper so i think after about a month or so they wrote him again and again they were ignored and eventually there was a response and the response was essentially you are suing the wrong people you should be suing the international art center and we have nothing to do with that. james palmer was not taken in by her response. he filed
9:05 am
a lawsuit against the health gallery in new york. but once again the lawyers denied the family were the owners of the painting. here is their statement to the court in new york. international arts center and nobody else not the head gallery nor david not maad that bought the painting at an auction held at christie's. things stopped dead there until two thousand and fifteen and the leaking of the panama papers extraordinary. a document published by the journalists revealed that behind the panamanian company international art center was the renowned art dealer david. so he was a shareholder of the company that owns the painting despite his constant denials. the detective had scored
9:06 am
a point. and now he just had to find out where he's seated man was in storage he had a bright idea maybe it was in the geneva freeport where the number of family kept the major part of its collection. the swiss judiciary issued a search warrant for the storerooms in april two thousand and sixteen and discovered the holy grail the much sought after painting. it's hard to say if it was hidden or not but it was kept very discreetly in the freeport where there are the nomad family are estimated to have of both three to four billion dollars worth of art or about four and a half thousand works of art in their little room in a freeport. painting claimed to have been looted was well and truly in the storeroom in the freeport a revelation that caused an uproar. the heirs of the antique dealer stettner have
9:07 am
now filed a claim for the restitution of the painting we contacted the no months after several attempts they finally agreed to open up their store room at the geneva freeport and to show us the painting in an exhibition room. we would never meet the art dealers themselves but they did accord us an exclusive uing of the painting a very solemn moment. the work was handled with great precaution it is estimated at about twenty million dollars today. the families with smaller would tell us their version of the story. is about in one. make a set that i left i mean i'm at the end on a. fact. international and

tony is a on the economy going to. me that mad. game . to clear his clients even further blow or even raise. has doubts that the painting ever belonged to the jewish antiques dealer stetson or. mr states if they. don't get it. and it was a bit. of unease. is extra gesture on the. what. the. in physically explicit. see and then you see i mean by. this. we had only a few minutes to film the painting. but as the handlers turned the work around we
9:09 am
happened to film something on the back that we only noticed later this label from the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale. the owner's name had been crudely erased. and it looks like that of stanton or. a clue to which the detective never had access and which could be crucial for the next stage of his investigation. the canadian detective is convinced the geneva freeport could be housing other works of dubious origin. well i think there's a high probability that many other paintings in the freeport were probably looted and probably rest there today that have not seen the light of day for many decades and i believe they're there and i think that it would be very interesting
9:10 am
if the public were made aware at least the art industry were made aware of what those paintings are so so that you know if the prosecutor's office is what's going for example were to bring. us with information on all those paintings we could pretty quickly tell them which ones are store pretty quickly. for the swiss art dealers lawyer there's no point in dreaming no one will know for years what's really stored in the freeport. best while they're still to. me. i'm not happy that he's all for say. a. french customs investigator is of the same opinion even if he's on the other side of the fence. people following of them also region if.

you combine all of that i don't feel says we know him or the beyond on a softer you before. the doing is aside the so. awful i can. reproduce it don't. give us the whole supper related or the actual satin diskette because in the discussion. in geneva the middle yani case hit the headlines. the freeport authorities quickly became concerned about bad publicity. so in june two thousand and sixteen they called an emergency press conference. all representatives of the main swiss media as were invited. in a little. cameo started. on the floor where the president of the geneva freeport
9:12 am
and his general secretary. both men seemed self-conscious rejecting all responsibility regarding the supposed owner of the painting david no money. made she said you're always doing more exact. a little. more than michelle's eleven thirty says to this little blue book or a little bit over with all that love appropriately a to z. list guy who doesn't even go. to yes is. also got all a slew of also where that visit is i'm not there as they were that all. of the tourists also. read up or put it the dishes such as restore. the city moss your who. was a also what it is it's the marsalis it's really your soldiers your those days are

to us. but what other secrets are really hidden in the freeport. in switzerland some official authorities have become extremely concerned we managed to obtain this report from the swiss federal audit office it unequivocally denounces the opaqueness of the geneva freeport. irregularities regarding inventories and absence of traceability of merchandise. errors in stock accountancy and recurrent problems which occur during controls. our french customs officer includes laxity on the part of the swiss administrators that oversee business conducted in the freeport. one point six. it was seen as a nice house from perviously order to mock you all. just

9:16 am
secrets two trillion united states dollars passed through most. in the amount of time that we've been in panama papers exposure that's what it shows a lot of money it really is. journalism it's a fact of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of. documents were examining. all the people we basically have tried to get an advantage out of this sort of. newspaper. and probably other politician which was the other politician the media would point to find their targets such as the kings of morocco in saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. and russian president vladimir putin of course.

that tied so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things don't just happen by chance he was very striking there were no more americans to go specially a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that this special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. the panama chronicles. some animal rights activists are just upset that we eat meat period which makes no sense by the way because animals eat other animals and we're supposed to be equal with animals but suddenly they don't want to humans eating other animals so in a sense they're saying that animals have the right to eat other animals but humans don't have a right to eat other animals even though they think we're all equal so some of there's a logical inconsistency there. young

children have worked in bolivia for generations almost three quarters of a million a doing so today. this culture led to the development of bolivia's new liberal and highly controversial children's code in two thousand and fourteen which gave children as young as ten the right to work under certain circumstances but as a new thing this. is all news. but without the end all. the things years. but there are hundreds of thousands of children in bolivia operating completely

in the week's top stories in our to you during the song just given ecuadorian citizenship but he remains holed up in the country's london embassies britain insists he'll face arrest if he steps outside. america's online army the pentagon has developed software to automatically post messages and responses on social media and the oval office bursts this backlash over the u.s. president's alleged crude remarks about immigrants from africa and central america . hello they're welcome you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international back of what's been happening over the last seven days. now on
9:21 am
thursday ecuador announced it had granted wiki leaks founder julian assange citizenship he's been holed up in the country's london embassy for over five years now after seeking political asylum there but he's still unable to leave the u.k. refuses to grant him diplomatic immunity and says he must surrender and face justice nor smith recaps the week's developments. which gave rise. regulation about what that could mean he generally doesn't do things unless they mean something and then we saw reports surfacing from quito which said that he had received a national identity number so he's been entered into the tax register essentially which is something that will only happen to citizens of ecuador this follows a statement earlier this week from the foreign minister of ecuador saying that the situation of afghans living here in the embassy is unsustainable and asking for the

first time for a third party mediator either another country or another person to see if they could help to resolve this issue with a person can't live in those conditions. we're considering the option of mediation . of said that could be done virus that country or individual. no solution is possible without international corporations and it's no wonder that she wants a resolution because of course it's been five and a half years since our phones first went into the embassy behind me cause there have been developments in his case along the line most notably possibly last year we didn't drop the investigation into sex allegations against him but the u.k. authorities still say that if he sets foot outside this embassy they will arrest him because he of course jumped bail when he went into the embassy and wiki leaks still fears and onward extradition to the united states so what we're seeing ecuador making moves quite concerted moves to try and resolve the situation but the
9:23 am
u.k. government still remains intractable on the issue even after all this time it's very unclear when and what will be the ending of this saga where u.s. officials have refused to comment on the matter although as war said there is still speculation that if a songe does step outside of the embassy and is arrested the u.s. may request his extradition we are some people in ecuador they supported their government's action. well but after the most vital to continue negotiating the situation is difficult being incarcerated for several years is dangerous to health we all know that the objective behind the trials and it's nothing to do with the sense of all we can do it there's a real possibility of extradition to the us as we do. at the nih thank you so much was treated inhumanely dream being tardy trial process a prisoner without a fake sentence and with rights to defend. him and we also got the opinion of
9:24 am
two activists some what could be next to the genius such basis on which the u.k. authorities would arrest him apparently it's for breaking bad conditions for the charges in terms of the case in sweden that have now been dropped but absolutely maybe there will be an extradition attempt and various kind of international bodies have found when they've looked into it the chance of getting a free and fair trial in the u.s. of minimal i think that this is really a continuation of a very dangerous and wrongheaded policy to target whistleblowers julian is one of the biggest international whistleblowers and i think that they really want his head on a platter it's the worst kept secret in washington that julian is likely sleeted to begin working his way through the u.s. judicial process if you ever leave the embassy. well despite being holed up in the
9:25 am
embassy for more than five years now he may have found a new way to entertain himself cryptic tweets seem to be a new favorite pastime. on the. song i'm no genius but reading the chessboard i think. black pieces are the bad

guys. and the interpretation. is in strong position against opposing interests. in other news this week it emerged on thursday that the us army plans to step up its activities on social media is now in the hunt for a software tool which can understand and respond to you online posts in different languages and potentially could sway public opinion and discuss this with kevin. the classic boss has been out there for ages and we know what they're usually used
9:27 am
for that is sending out spam messages in some cases performing hacking attacks but it seems that uncle sam is after something much more sophisticated here if you go online and check out the us federal business opportunities website you will come across a pentagon request from earlier this week and this was something that really caught our attention well the us army wants right now is a software system that will be able to translate between languages most notably russian korean farsi and arabic and we all know which countries these languages are spoken and the tool is meant to understand and know how to use correctly dialects slang and even a mode g.'s plus it must be a tool that is capable of analysis all these millions of posts comments and replies and we all that these things can be really dodgy are to be at a loss for emotion and sentiment key question is
9:28 am
a guess is it's probably over his but what's it going to be used for potentially they want the software to be able to communicate with users online maybe not one hundred percent like a human being but somewhat close to that just take this requirement that i have printed out right here it is the ability to generate at least three or up to ten unique statements derived from the original social media statement while retaining the meaning and the tone of the original again the software monitor and adeline as its own impact from the messages that it sends then a just plus it also needs to be self taught in a way that it can learn from its own mistakes and then improve an upgrade which provides potentially unprecedented opportunities for influencing opinion on life in a company you're going to notice the irony of this big plan is that it's on the heels of the us leaders complaining about all the. first of all an interference from other parties other countries really in the case when russian troll farms and
9:29 am
bars there are all over the media news about that some experts have already told us that it's part of a u.s. campaign could be to expand their online influence in capabilities something that they have been up to for years but really the sophistication of this new project machines being able to analyze the emotions and the sentiment of comments online or something alarming well we did contact the pentagon for clarification they got back to his two saying that the two would be helpful to them given the huge amount of data on the internet we were also able to speak with the n.s.a. whistleblower william binney and the former m i five agent and he mashona about the push to develop advanced bolts and they outlined some of the implications. what they really want to do is be able to monitor royce communications or any kind of
9:30 am
communications text and be able to assess it and. check it for threats or things like that or even. from some of the manipulation programs even respond. and try to manipulate the other person at the other end so i mean all intelligence agencies have had this is one of their objectives white papers are generally circulated among contractors who do business with the government so it is a little unusual to see these things out in the public as far as i know the most obvious interpretation would be that this is a pushback against the allegations that have been made consistently for the last eighteen months about so-called russian troll phone influencing elections across the west and it's interesting to see that the languages that they're advertising for are the language of iran and of course north korea and russia so that would be a bit of a sort of give away about which countries they want to be targeting. now.
