something about. julian assange is charged in the u.s. with conspiracy to hack government computers the issue of his alleged links to russia is once again being raised in washington. french police used tear gas against a get over protesters in the twenty second consecutive weekend of demonstrations against the government. and german justice minister is criticized after giving an interview to the german system channel which mentions close ties between moscow. and we maintain close ties with russia russia was always will be our part now.

live from moscow thanks for joining us and our teams of ashkelon hawkins' revenue are welcome to tonight's program of people in the u.s. and u.k. gathered on saturday to protest the detention of wiki leaks founder julian assange and his arrest the sparked outrage with supporters taking their anger to the streets voicing concern for the right to a free press. but there. were. new york people rallied on times square demanding the immediate release of some protesters held signs others delivered speeches that criticized the pentagon and other protests took place in london outside the prison where it's believed being held is currently shows you all to appear at an extradition hearing via video link on may twenty second. after his dramatic arrest that we could expect minus facing a charge of conspiracy to hack a u.s.

government computer it appears that washington has another axe to grind at least judging by the vice president's words on friday. when he was a cia cia director he called weekly leaks state house intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia we strongly agree with that's why the justice department is now seeking extradition might have been just a slip of the tongue is currently a song that hasn't been charged with anything russia related his alleged links to the criminal know have been on the minds of the media and political chiefs for quite some time. looks at whether alleged collusion may still become part of the case against the wiki leaks founder. it is say it years ago a son that the united states wanted him that's why he was in the ecuadorian embassy and he was right america is seeking extradition and if you watch enough t.v. you surely know why his russian connections can we address the question at hand and

that is whether or not you can say definitively that russia had no part in their family was trying to sabotage the twenty six thousand election and have these facts in front of them saw assad as an agent agent or at least a provocateur or a collaborator with the russian government tonight there is growing evidence that russia is using wiki leaks as a delivery vehicle for hacked e-mails and other information it was everywhere on every pundit slips for years assad's weekly spew to russia meddling echoed and echoed by everyone important enough to be on camera like us leaders it's time to call out wiki leaks for what it really is a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia they've acted in concert with the russians to interfere on our elections to help you pack into a look at information from the russians and at least in a way to disrupt our campaigns in twenty six you know i don't think that's that's

not right to legal and i hope mr and as much as possible gestures should come to cuba and so forth is for all. russian meddling in what you do by their word he's a covert k.g.b. asset on a secret mission to topple the united states that is if you watch enough t.v. if you don't if you actually read the indictment against in the charges no mention of russia not a mention of elections of meddling e-mails or grand plots to topple the united states his crime allegedly was that he worked with chelsea. manning to obtain classified documents that showed us human rights abuses in iraq and i'm gonna stop the u.s. government house to. state all the charges they tend to charge mr sashi with extradition stick. you fail to do you not mr sergeant.

us that lancet. about states government or bring their charges just consider this if the us had any of it anything tying assigned to russia or made legal conspiracy do you think they would have shown it to mention that you know this is it this is the unique charge he faces and because of how extradition works they can to add any more charges if they get him the extradition order. needs to know at that stage what except charges so for example. the extradition order u.k. not extradite somebody to wes you know the charges that are probably going to. not exist there's no charge. so the extradition court makes very clear we're only going to extradite on those charges are sent to us and. we just i guess.

that the states. are are now saying six or six are going by what flu is and experts are saying the u.s. doesn't have much of a case and that ass and is found guilty it sets a nasty precedent where journalists can be jailed for posting classified material no matter how vital like the manning files.

as remarkable as it may be the u.s. is now saying that exposing us human rights abuses wanted murder committed by the us military exposing that is wrong serious than the abuses and murder themselves chelsea formally bradley manning was freed by a bomber but judging by the toxicity on t.v. in washington as sands shouldn't be too hopeful the. you never know trump is trump wiki leaks i love working links. on thursday police forcibly removed huge innocence from the ecuadorian embassy in london came up to quito stripped him of his ecuadorian citizenship and revoked his asylum which was granted almost seven years ago ecuador says a song violated the terms of his asylum in numerous ways independent journalist and close friend of q. and a songe. you know this is not

a trade in the media. cubans are very robust and strong person physically quite large and mentally but he has been under the most enormous strain i mean physically he lost a lot of weight mentally he was still the same julian of course but you could see that he's a man who had suffered he owed on the weekends for example the embassy used to close down and you could see that he didn't like being alone rattling around the place he hasn't been outside the ecuadorians were in the last year under the regime of merino were monitoring him inside the embassy to an extraordinary degree there were two cameras in every room except a lot of trees even the kitchen had one also he was gagged he was while speaking german and the other thing is his visitation rights work at taylor's is quite difficult to see him julian has expected to be thrown out of the embassy since before christmas he was just waiting for it to happen but i don't think he expected to be dragged out in this way the way it happened was to patrol him to help portray

him as a fugitive rather than allowing him to walk out himself with dignity people consider much more of a threat than you really is you know the district judge and the magistrate court that he went into after straight out to being taken by the police described him as a narcissist i mean the judge had met him once in the courtroom that day i mean that's a savage thing to say about somebody talk about silly stuff about him you know apparently. be unclean or something like that i mean it's an extraordinary how journalists are able to strike me. the important and really important to the future of journalism. as our guest points out media speculation is rife surrounding the science including the welfare office cat where we could leaks the side to dispel any concerns unconfirmed the cat is safe and well we can expose that this video of the feline watching is only being dragged from the embassy turns out the cat was rescued by a lawyer back in october following threats to remove it last year the ecuadorian

government gave us our just set of house rules which specified he risked losing his companion unless you took proper care of him. british police have fired tear gas at your best protesters throwing rocks and bottles on the first weekend after a controversial law came into force new rules ban demonstrators from hiding their faces. i. was i was i was. the. clashes were seen in paris where police used tear gas against protesters twenty seven people were detained more than thirty thousand protests that on saturday across the country including around five thousand in the capital alone. we thought we need to change the government change poor people salary establish more social

benefits that's what would satisfy us otherwise we will never start i want to microns head we see people chanting micron we're coming for you so i hope to go get him there's no point in chanting it and not doing it. we won't give up we want to give up on anything it's a kind of courage there is pretty good of course but we are not given up we need to keep it up with undoubtedly getting worse and worse. i was. there and this government is there i think mr mcroy was clear and they are still the great debate and i want to worst my decisions what was the great debate for it was just smoke and mirrors it was a company in for the european elections in disguise that's why we are in the streets today. a rally turned

violent in the southern city of toulouse where officers after protesters apparently tried to build barricades number of demonstrators was said to have been injured more than twenty were detained this marks the twenty second consecutive weekend of anti-government rallies in the country the universe the movement started in november. protests against fuel price hikes and calls for president micron to resign associate professor of french and francophone studies at the university of north to go pull smith thinks that despite a slight recovery in microns palomas the yellow bus movement won't be going anywhere. oddly enough over the last few weeks he's a poll ratings have been going up both for him and his prime minister eight books leap and i think that there is a sense in that because the bonus you know whatever other politicians a little more. media commentator is. actually kind of gave a framework to to be discontented provided that they are late for the discontented

of people to participate and since it is a massive success but particularly good it is so you listen to the contributions of so disparate bringing their own security into something is going to be very difficult so paradoxically you know looking at the news looking at the footage you know i think that he's enormously popular but the next three weeks all going to be going up and in fact will be your people are going to be actually pretty. meanwhile religious violence in france is on the rise with a spike in attacks against minorities over the majority of incidents in the country target christians something much of the media seems to overlook some of the reports . anti religious attacks taking place on an almost daily basis in france but while some incidents seem to attract a lot of attention others are largely being ignored according to the french

observer. for be so merry twenty nineteen was the worst month for churches in france since they began collecting data in two thousand and fifteen but in addition to churches other public christian symbols have also been targeted for example some across as a mountain tops public chris. six's has been destroyed or vandalized and public statues of jesus and the virgin mary have been decapitated or destroyed and according to the observatory in france anti christian attacks have sharply risen since the beginning of the twenty nineteen this is paris's historic soul suit piece last month a fire here briefly caught the attention of the media. it didn't take long for an investigation to say the attack was deliberate and cause

nearly a million damage but take a closer look at how it was reported by some news wires the headline reads the church briefly catches fire nobody it's almost a month later the story doesn't appear to have been updated suggesting that the deliberate attack on one of paris is the largest churches just wasn't that newsworthy at the same time other anti religious attacks not only make the headlines they stay. the latest official figures from the french government to give us a better insight into what's happening in twenty eighteen there was a sharp rise in the number of anti sematic incidents five hundred and forty one that's up seventy four percent compared with twenty seventeen the incidents were broken down showing what they were related to including murder violence and

threats anti muslim acts to it at a hundred a low since twenty ten meanwhile the number of anti christian acts reached one thousand and sixty three a slight increase compared with the previous year no further detail was given but was shocking to me. he was the almost casual way that the ministry described it saying quote the number of anti-christian acts is stable over the year but when the interior minister downplays or. seems to sideline the acts against christians it fuels the assumption that only minority religions deserve protection unquestionably the increase in anti-semitic attacks is of serious concern but by many as minimizing the number of anti-christian incidents and providing no details the government signals in

a not so subtle way that this is less important it's unclear who is carrying out these attacks or why they are taking place but there's real concern that the way that the french government and the media generally underplay them means that they could be being significantly underreported meaning the truth is still unknown so what do you ski arty paris. thousands of protesters flooded the sudanese capital khartoum on saturday at a rally in front of the military's headquarters they call on the army to hand over power to a civilian government protesters say they will remain in the streets until a civilian transition council is formed on thursday after months of public protests the army toppled longtime president tomorrow bashir according to police sixteen people have been killed and about twenty wounded in the chaos that's followed in while some countries including saudi arabia have already affirmed their support for

the new military ministration riyadh also says it's ready to provide humanitarian aid to the country that's according to saudi state media. news german media and politicians have rounded on the country's justice minister that's after she gave an interview to argues german says the channel in a seven minute interview caterina bali touched on a number of issues condemning concerning europe including germany's relations with russia is peter all of the reports from burning. of the german justice minister catherine of bali is found herself in hot water according to some lost on the political sea according to others it's curious to see how you can completely lose your political compass in no time well what happiness act did she commit she spoke to the media or as some would have you believe the wrong type of media this is all come about after ms barley gave an interview to r.t. german language sister service. and we

maintain close ties with russia russia was and always will be our partner however that doesn't mean we don't take issue with certain things but then that's a natural part of any relationship. nordstrom to is a private enterprise and we as a government do not interfere i also do not consider it appropriate to comment on u.s. plans in any way. i asked europe as external and internal enemies these include all who seek to weaken at first of all of course these are the e.u. countries that want to become nation states again and stop their usual cooperation with us in order to pursue their selfish national interests heaven forfend a german politician give an interview to a russian news outlet about issues that affect both nations the minister must be out of her mind according to the german tabloid press justice minister caterina

barely wants to join the european parliament for the s.p.d. and has given many interviews so far so good but why she took questions from the kremlin propaganda portal russia today is not comprehensible to many in political circles while city use fighting for ever your route to strengthen europe's security the s.p.d. european candidate katherina barley gives interviews to russian state propaganda that is twenty four seven to weaken the euro because the rena barely of the european the un through body all smiling and friendly to those who want to send you are plummeting into chaos with their education freedom of the press sorry make that freedom to talk to the press as long as it's the ones the chairman tabloids approve of. spanish primary school has banned peoples from reading little red riding-hood and sleeping beauty because they like a balanced gender perspective the true traditional fairy tales are among around

thirty percent of the books available for that age group which have now been labeled toxic two hundred titles have been removed from the library at school in barcelona later such a move in the catalan capital where gender commissions are now reviewing similar cases we spoke to locals in barcelona to get their thoughts. let alone a little tale that all of us were raised with and we're not traumatized it warns you not to get close to strangers i think to remove that it's a bit absurd so that no i think it's a delicate topic in so far as you can't reinterpret when these books were written it's from a historical time it's a matter of tradition one is obviously we have to do a lot of things to make society go forward but i don't know if this should be one of them being given that you've been reading them since i was a child and i don't feel stereotyped or harmed by those books i don't think there is such a harmful thing for a key it's going to shoot out of the conditions the way kids think the kids see women girls the other gender is

a bit protected relative to men i think we have to teach them from childhood that there is no subordinate relationship between one and the other but listen these are tales that have always existed they can be adapted can be explained i think we shouldn't be censored you know better but it's part of the culture it has nothing to do with gender because that off looks at just how far this revaluation of classic works could go. once upon a time in a land far away you lived a girl and she was strong and independent and grew up to be superwoman like that story of course you do there's nothing little about this red riding hood of the twenty first century not like the old version banned in one of barcelona's primary schools for exposing children to false gender perspectives matter of fact whereas birth when you need them the wolves go to her and carry by x. had he's barely filled with stones and tossed out to die in agony if that's not

animal cruelty i don't know what is another fairy tale bound in that school look at the ugly reality of sleeping beauty. he beheld her charms and felt his blood course hockey through his vague. lifted her is arms and carried her to a bed they gathered the first fruits of love leaving her on the bed he returned to his own kingdom where pressing business of his realm he for a time thought no more about this incident now after nine months to lead livid two beautiful children one a boy and the other a girl. well excuse me does this start with once upon a rape did they really live happily ever after i mean really you know what let's stay on the subject a girl is given away to slavery by her own father sounds familiar it's.

but you say you've got daughters i will forgive you on condition that one of them comes willingly and suffer for you well first the title is outright misleading there's at least two beasts and the bigger one i would argue is the father and yes i would like someone on this egregious human trafficking case asap india i'm looking at you unicef or how about this plot the protagonist turns halfway through the story murders his friend has his feet burned while alive is hanged and left for dead. understanding said one to the other there's nothing left to do now but to hang him to hang him repeated the other they tied pinocchio's hands behind his shoulders and slipped a noose around his neck during the high limb of the joint oak tree they pulled us

to the hall marionette. that's the original for you before being whitewashed by disney and if little red riding hood is a bad gender example for kids no way this tale can be under the p.g. thirteen mark. with aladin i think the deal was if you wish is not a t.v. show when you need it and who knows how many more evils lurk under the guise of children's books. a hundred war crimes and counting the. game of thrones is being taken to task by australia's red cross humanitarian organisation has been keeping a tally of all right so violations in the land of western us.
