there's outrage in the u.k. after a radical muslim cleric accused of inspiring terror attacks and of prison. on the signature cannot constitute. anjem choudary was reportedly taken to this probation house in london the notorious radical preacher was released out of jail having served just half of his five and a half year sentence following being sent to jail back in twenty sixteen for encouraging people to join isis now the british prime minister theresa may has said the authorities are well prepared for this development on the question of anjem choudary obviously facing extremist picture he pledged his allegiance to die as he was convicted of inviting support for them and that if and when any terrorist offend is released well rehearsed plans are put in place to keep the public safe on the police they presume that probation service and other agencies have
3:11 pm
a range of powers available to them the fifty one year old father of five who once led an extremist group that was bound under terrorist laws in the u.k. is going to be serving the rest of his time within the community on license he's going to be monitored by the m i five the police as well as other agencies now he's not exactly free and is going to be staying at the probation house under several conditions those include not being able to preach or attend certain mosque. he will only be able to communicate with people that authorities have allowed him to communicate with he will have one telephone his internet use will be supervised as well as his travels limited he will not be able to leave the u.k. now the place where he's reportedly now going to be staying is on the same street as the school and we've been gauging some opinions from locals about this here whether he says it the other end of the country i'd rather we didn't say it's all about influence he's nasty he's evil he's negative he's maligned there's nothing
3:12 pm
nice to say. maybe if you go to a country where she hardison is more accepted but not here strong place for him it's been said to me that the students in this country the reported cost of the security operation to have him be out of jail is said to be at a whopping two million pounds a year compared to the fifty thousand pounds a year it would have cost to keep him in jail reaction to this was also very swift to follow it's crazy to put the public in danger and spend two million pounds a year monitoring extremist anjem choudary we could be following australia's lead to keep him locked up the extensive list of constraints on un jim choudhry is welcome that said the fact that he's being released at all and that's imposing these constraints will cost the taxpayer two million pounds per annum is a bore and those argue mother wise are almost as dangerous as here's the release of anjem choudary who claims some of those citizens are foreign this in their own home
3:13 pm
is a threat to our security is betraying all of us and we need to defend all communities in our nation we need a new treason act indeed this could be seen as a concerning development chattery did not himself organize any terrorist attacks nonetheless he is seen as one of the most dangerous radical wiser's in the u.k. reporting from london. for r.t. and his media commentator neil wallace thinks john kerry is too dangerous to be released. if they believe he is this potentially dangerous if the reports are true that we've all read in the papers of people saying if anything he's got more radical in jail since he's been inside why on earth are they releasing him if this was a man who. had was a rapist something which he fully approved of incidentally for isis and anybody who wasn't one of their followers but if this man was a rapist and he was saying i'm going to rape or soon as i get out would they allow
3:14 pm
him out this guy has inspired attack after attack after attack dreadful atrocities on the streets of britain and yet we're letting him out of jail. as a battle between witches and priests bring in the u.s. and it's not a prelude to halloween later this month one catholic priest is facing off with the brooklyn are called sharp which has announced a public hexing of supreme court justice back capital chemicals and has more. after deep divisions took place in us society regarding the newly confirmed supreme court justice brett kavanaugh it seems that these divisions are not over and they are now taking on a spiritual dimension we have a bookstore in brooklyn that caters to a cult practitioners saying that they are staging a public ceremony to place a hex on brett kavanaugh people who describe themselves as witches will be conducting the ceremony tickets are being sold on the internet and the call on the
3:15 pm
internet says please join us for a public hax on brett kavanaugh and upon all rapists and the patriarchy which emboldens rewards and protects them the call goes on to say that witchcraft is quote the only means of exacting justice available to those of us who have been wronged by men just like him now there's been quite a hub of on american t.v. screens one of those who spoke up was a founder of women for trump and she took great offense at this ceremony to be conducted in brooklyn by those who call themselves witches it is a scary time right now i mean there's a list of things going on now you've got witches that are placing i have on brett kavanaugh now an exorcist an official exorcist is planning to calendar the ceremony with a ceremony of his own he'll be conducting a mass on saturday to counter the ceremony being conducted by the witches in brooklyn now this exorcist was quoted as saying that this is a conjuring of evil not about free speech he goes on to say that they are going to
3:16 pm
direct evil to have a permanently verse effect on the supreme court justice he will then be conducting this ceremony to counter the mass so as americans remain divided over brett kavanaugh and some of got to be thinking of some classical moments in cinematic history. one palestinian official and several protesters have been injured while protesting in the occupied west bank israeli of offices were seen using pepper spray and beating the demonstrators zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero was. a great. show of local the pros plans to demolish their village which israel considers an illegal settlement on fifty two families are
3:17 pm
trying to turn off to relocate to another residential area israel says the village was built illegally and dangerously close to the highway its removal was approved by israel's high court justice. meanwhile at the gaza border thousands attended the so-called great to march of return where scores of palestinians were injured loco a you know al sayad has moved from the scene. today marks the thirtieth friday in the great march every cherry as we can see hundreds of palestinian protesters have gathered here is usual to protest today palestinian protesters have started burning tires in an attempt to block the vision on the israeli snipers the vision in front of these really forces are these really snipers is almost totally blocked but yet they are firing live ammunition in gas canisters at the palestinian protesters gathering as we can see the israeli forces are firing gas canisters on the
3:18 pm
palestinian protesters. there are a number of injuries that had been taken by paramedics to the ambulances as you can see in the area it's full of protesters all sectors men women and children. we have paramedics we have a lot of press we have also palestinian volunteers who have come here in order to save the other protest. we have seven injuries four shot for life shooting until now people are chalking because of all the gas that has been fired and then you have another injury i know there is injury. in the eye. another injury and. as you can see there are still a number of injuries that are coming in every now and then. these
3:19 pm
are all defense forces say they operations around the protests are strictly to provide safety for israeli civilians meanwhile on twitter the i.d.f. is warning parents are let children about several instant entry balloons which are were launched today from gaza into israel. donald trump says his secretary of state has not been provided with any evidence concerning the disappearance of the saudi journalist who vanished in turkey earlier this month that's after reports that turkish authorities claim to have or of jamal . being tortured and killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul with no information being made public from the investigations and looks at the case that's been sidelined where normally it would cause a political storm. a quick look at the calendar back here was when jamal khashoggi was last seen alive days past and only that was the
3:20 pm
point when the us president had this response to the question is mr her dead it certainly looks that way to me it's very sad certainly but we're waiting for the results. about three different investigations and we should be able to get to the bottom fairly soon but i have to be very severe have it. but we'll see what happens here we are that rather obvious one for many took sixteen days even though a crystal ball wasn't exactly needed to know something atrocious had likely happened to the journalist but what exactly he calls for arab nations to allow freedom of the press freedom for which he apparently died fighting a turkish official tells c.n.n. that his body was cut into pieces after his death whether the alleged killers
3:21 pm
dismembered body here and spread it around the country plenty of t.v. attention and speculation zero public comments from this man for two and a half weeks just for your information jeff bezos own the newspaper mr hashad you wrote for the washington post believe it or not he's had nothing to say on the probable death of his employee for now maybe he just didn't want to there's been a suspicious silence from a number of important people who you'd usually expect to roar when a journalist goes missing for so long or not that's suspicious when the fingers are being pointed at someone as special as those in charge of saudi arabia so those who do speak out sound rather well hear for yourself i just want to. the temper of those who screaming for the saudis these people or.
3:22 pm
is there's clearly a downside here there's clearly an upside and i thought it was worth investing a little hope in the upside don't think on this issue that we've had to pull sanctions i just think in some of them an arms deal that everybody wanted the peace just like one of the hundred ninety billion dollars is huge and it will mean a lot of jobs will be you know a lot of money coming to our coffers let's leave america where he lived and worked so hard for it but you must have a few strong words on journalist abuse or a likely murder our position. on this but you seem to the saudis are still holds of the east of the system so easy to use your freedom and. that's it but bear in mind that some big leaders haven't said a thing and
3:23 pm
a mystery it seems riyadh would have to be renamed to let's say moscow to really turn into one big evil attention grabber with donald trump saying i have to be very severe i mean it's bad. but we'll see what our tide could have turned but just for contrast think of all the cases when russia has had a telling off whatever's wrong with the world the rebuke comes momentarily that someone say two and a half weeks. we could least found it julian assange has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy for six years has launched a case against the ecuadorian government says his fundamental rights have been violated we could leaks is confirm that a lawyer has filed the case in ecuador it comes seven months off the king to threaten to cut his connection to the outside world off the whistleblower group
3:24 pm
also said they are challenging a new so-called special protocol that ecuador introduced earlier this week. according to reports the protocol regulates a number of things including a songes visitors with no explanation the quiet if visits are denied it dictates what medical treatment the wiki leaks founder can receive as well as preventing him from engaging in political activities all interfering in foreign affairs there are a number of house rules to adhere to also if a songe wants to continue living in the embassy.
3:25 pm
has been in the ecuadorian embassy in london since twenty twelve when swedish prosecutors filed charges against him those charges have been suspended but the whistleblower has been restricted to the embassies was in the u.k. after he skipped bail in the country and he could still face extradition to the u.s. over the leaking trove of classified data back in time to tell while we're going to discuss this further with peter tatchell is a human rights activist peter welcome to the program let's look at the main reason for this legal case against ecuador first and what do you think really expects from it. well it's very clear that the government is being lent on we know that the ministration officials have said that their target is to get a song to get him extradited to the united states and to stand trial and just recently a group of u.s.
3:26 pm
congress people have written to the ecuadorian president basically blackmailing them basically telling the ecuadorian president that i can dition for future u.s. cooperation in the war on drugs for economic collaboration and for other like aid and development money that must be contingent on ecuador getting a song out of the embassy so the pressure is clearly on i think that the special protocols which are quite extraordinary. directly a response to the pressure that there could organs are facing from the united states. you mentioned some of the conditions i mean that there are far more draconian ones i mean in recent weeks during the songes been prevented from having visits by his lawyer. human rights watch has been refused permission to visit him and they have responded by saying that he is in effect being held in cannot incommunicado insults he confinement with fewer rights than prisoners being held in
3:27 pm
a maximum security jail that's pretty pretty extreme but then you've got other issues for example ecuador saying that if journalists or lawyers or anyone wants to visit journalist songe they must hand over the passwords codes and serial numbers of that email laptops email accounts their mobile phones and that ecuador reserves the right to share that information including in for any information gained from the access to those social media sites like facebook mobile phones internet cetera to share them with other agencies and other countries also join us on just being told that any visitors you have. must be subject to rules which include the right of ecuador to confiscate their property and to hand it over to the u.k.
3:28 pm
authorities now all of these rules are arbitrary with no right of appeal during a songe is an ecuadorian citizen he was drive this is a job he has the rights of a ticker and citizen which includes freedom of expression and freedom of association so quite clearly what ecuador is doing to the songe is in violation of its own laws and own constitution peter if we go back as you mention an awful lot of stuff if we go back to. your reasons why you think ecuador. is doing this when you mention the war on drugs and have it in a few other reasons do you think that the ecuadorian embassy will indeed and beating out that this how far is this going to go. well it certainly looks that way i mean basically these new spread of pressure protocols place such extraordinary restrictions on journalists. and any kind of association or contact
3:29 pm
you can have of the outside world that this kind of restriction is enough to drive someone to a mental breakdown and perhaps that is the intention to make life so i'm bearable for during a song that he will voluntarily decide to leave that's the way i think most people including people in the human rights community are reading it this is basically an ultimatum to julian assange and you know he has got no end in sight you know they could only thaw it sees all intents and purposes will maintain these rules and restrictions i don't for an item for weeks months or even years i doubt no matter how strong a result during the songes that he could possibly put up with it because the this is such so draconian so restrictive i must be shortly so corrosive of his mental and physical health he did what more explanation has the ecuadorian embassy given
3:30 pm
for these protocols. well they haven't really given any plausible explanation at all the only say crazy explanation i suppose some months ago was that. had put out social media messages which were interference in other countries internal affairs i think he did some comments supporting the catalan independence movement for example and that created the wrath of spain which then. put pressure on ecuador. so that seems to be that the ostensible reason sensible reason is he's doing things that are politically embarrassing that he's. making comments that ecuador doesn't think is appropriate i don't really buy that that may be part of the reason but it's very clear that the u.s. is leading leading leaning very heavily on us on ecuador to.
