they have given up their right to live among us some even proven. true and how many more. before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. the stories that shapes the week wiki leaks co-founder rested after spending almost seven years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. his arrest grab global attention and spark concern over a possible extradition to the united states. in the us democrat presidential hopeful says that african american should receive financial compensation for the suffering of the ancestors on the slavery we debate the issue. because somebody is

green based on something doesn't mean i'm responsible for it you know who should have been able to. if the government had literally buried it had paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america. the u.s. republican senator military help to prevent what he calls genocide by president the doura claims an invasion is being discussed behind closed doors. with the seine evening the watching the weekly here on r.t. . after almost seven years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london we can expand the julian assange which was sensationally dragged out by the police this week they came shortly after the south american country had suspended the whistleblower citizenship and revoked his asylum. exclusive footage of the moment

states. the. united states.

and aggressive behavior of mr june. and i saw nj the hostile and threatening declarations of his annoyed organization i could rule on especially the transgression of international treaties have led the situation to a point where the asylum of mr assad regime is unsustainable are no longer viable the ecuadorian authorities didn't like the fact that they said julian assange hunters are interfering in the international affairs in the affairs of other countries through his online activity through his activities this editor of wiki leaks but also there was this kind of domestic disputes bubbling beneath the surface as well last year julian assange was given a list of conditions that he needed to add here if he wanted to stay on the good side of his the ecuadorian hosts he was told they needed to tidy up after himself clean his bar pay for his own food to pay for their normal three clean up after is talent which they threaten term leave and subsequently did british officials are

pretty pleased about what's happened will welcome the news this morning that the metropolitan police have arrested judy in a sorry. mr speaker this goes to show that in the united kingdom no one is above the law but what we've shown today is that no one is above the law julian assange is no hero he's hidden from the truth for years and years but also a very courageous decision by president arroyo in ecuador to resolve the situation we missed the end but at the very least of the embassy chapter of the julian assange one stop the saga and we're moving on to perhaps or rather the truncated chapter seven legal extradition battle. julian assange still refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in two thousand and twelve the us has an investigating the publication by wiki leaks of classified military documents related to the war in afghanistan they also looked into a song just released of cyber tools used by the cia and of hillary clinton's

private e-mails which is claimed by. out of alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election. following his arrest on thursday the u.s. issued a formal request for us on his extradition washington accused of conspiring against the united states the indictment alleges together with chelsea manning a former intelligence analyst in the us army that the songs cracked government password and assess classified documents if convicted he could face up to five years in prison is a bank for yet we can leaks major publications over the years. i . still.

believe. the little does he say any of the millions of. the wiki leaks he walks like a hospital told your story. like a hot cold turkey. for george galloway believes it's not only julian assange she's fate at stake but journalism as we know it. don't have to like um you don't have to like everything

he's ever written or published but if you like the fact that we have the right to speak and to know often uncomfortable truths to our rulers don't want us to know then you should be here in person or at least in spirit because if julian assertion is criminalized and incarcerated for revealing the truth then you might as well volunteer for a prison cell yourself because you'll no longer be free and you'll never be free again there may have been a theft of information involved but if every publisher who publishes material that was stolen from its owners was put on trial and extradited and sent behind bars there would be no publishing i give you just one example i was

a member of parliament when the daily telegraph bought stolen information about m.p.'s expenses and they published it and they want to wards for it because it was in the public interest the people should know that hundreds of members of parliament were cheating the taxpayer stealing from the taxpayer by fiddling their expenses that's what journalism is that's all that julian essential has. songes the rest is going to global attention with thousands rallying in support of the australian born whistleblower to put it past protesters have been gathering outside u.s. embassies expressing their concern over songs as possible extradition of callignee can discuss the international reaction to a song his arrest not easily patrik. a lot of these skeletons in the closets of the world's mightiest the most powerful probably will never be pulled out but if it wasn't for julian assad some people wouldn't even start thinking

merely that some of this nasty and gruesome stuff even existed and indeed a very important part of his legacy probably the most important part will always be encourage so many people to think and ask questions about what the most powerful people in charge of this world could be hiding and this can truly be felt through the things that are being said by the activists right now in reaction to what's happening with the whistleblower let's take a look at what the american civil liberties union came out with any persecution by the united states. for wiki leaks publishing operations would be unprecedented and unconstitutional would open the door to criminal investigations of other news organizations prosecuting a foreign publisher of violating u.s. secrecy tools was set and especially dangerous precedent for the u.s.

journalists who routinely violate foreign secrecy laws to deliver information vital to the public's interest cumin rights watch are now actually saying that every news organization is in danger and this kind of sentiment is being echoed by so many activists and activist organizations to those who support him he is you know. a hero his an award winning journalist but there are those who hate am out here as a whistle blower a villain how is he regarded well some people don't see a difference between behavior to a list and a whistleblower some people do but you can argue that in any case in a solid situation and his whole fate well always be intertwined. with the notion of freedom of speech and it seems that any kind of attempts by the us political elite to paint them with that brush and to try and convince the world that he is not

a journalist will always be challenged by the world's most renowned whistleblowers and investigative journalists as well images of what those ambassador invites in the case secret police into the embassy to drug a publisher if like you to know it was within journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books critics may cheer but this is a dark moment for press freedom we queue leaks is a publisher charges now brought in connection with its material or any attempt to extradite assange to united states for prosecution under deeply flawed could you know of the espionage act nine hundred seventeen is an attack on all of us the g.o.g. sis part of what is science did to just before his prosecution beyond allegedly helping manning get the documents is that he encouraged manning to get more documents for him to publish journalists do this with sources constantly is a criminalization of journalism it's hard to make know the political undertones of

this case that how has politicians been wayans things songes arrest well i would to raise them a said no one is above the law and it looks like the likes of the u.s. the u.k. and the current government of ecuador will continue to team up in saying that these suspected criminals should be prosecuted and they will keep on pushing that line but at the same time even in the western world and also in other parts of the world there will be politicians who will keep on saying things like phony pretext and they will control need to treat this case as pure hypocrisy of the western political elites this whole story with the prosecution and hounding with establishing inhumane living conditions is consigning to. livia writes if the freedom of speech and disseminating information. is something that it's absolute if you think that i mean that we are talking about that. show on the ward.

abuses and by a lesion of your mine in international right we absolutely reject the julian of songes naturalization and the handover of this australian journalist to the united kingdom in a shameful act of surrendering our sovereignty the extradition of julian a son to the us for exposing evidence of atrocities in iraq and afghanistan should be opposed by the british government in any case now whatever the people say it still all depends on the next steps by u.s. police and u.s. prosecutors so we will be watching out for that. the u.s. republican senator has called for military action in venezuela in order to prevent what he's calling the genocide by president nicolas maduro comes in washington repeated vows that it won't exclude any option after it but claim the country's opposition leader wanga i don't as the interim president in january we've got to

really consider whether we do military. you know help getting this aid in to stay this save the starving people of venezuela they are starving to death i mean this is genocide emma duros doing it in modern american think tank called the center for strategic and international studies or c s i s has reportedly held an off the record meeting to assess the use of military force in venezuela a list of roughly forty attendees of the event contains current and former u.s. officials including from the state department senior officials from the brazilian embassies as well as top d.c. representatives from one gotos shadow government are also thought to been at the meeting we've spoken to blacks my experimental editor of the gray zone dot com and the man behind that report. i confirmed that the meeting took place with a staffer at c.s.i.s. however she refused to give me details grik stream lee nervous on the phone in a second source who participated in the meeting who confirmed it also refused to

give details they were extremely nervous that somebody in the media knew about the existence of this event it was a very high level meeting with basically the main people in washington involved in making the sausage of trump's venezuela policy one of the more interesting elements was the participation of high level staffers from the u.s. aid agency for international development and usa id is now talking about military options so this could be done under the auspices of some kind of humanitarian intervention to save venezuelans but it's really interesting that an aid agency is participating in this discussion and the u.s. is using economic sanctions as a form of unilateral coercion in place of a military invasion that's according to the un special rapporteur it greased zero. and they don't seem to be removing material the u.s. has called on the military in venezuela to turn on the door on they've stood firm

and honored the constitution and one why doe's kind of on a tour around then it's way lower and he's not rallying the crowds the u.s. had hoped for and so i see this secret or a private meeting at c.s.i.s. as evidence of the u.s. is desperation and they're trying to find any means to dislodge material after several months. u.s. presidential hopefuls back reparations for african-americans despite massive public opposition details for you after the break. to. those of the gay. they have to be changed and we are still living with historical legacy sophie does. most of the. legal frameworks in investment work all of them are designed for industrial face

of a stick watch and now we are moving ahead and i think the problem is that our concepts are lagging behind. the business model of facebook is to pressure people to continue communicating through facebook and giving facebook personal information this is what makes facebook a surveillance monster show facebook does not have users facebook has used people that facebook users.

will come back a u.s. presidential hopeful respond to bait by proposing a bill to provide reparations to african-americans democrat senator cory booker says that this would compensate for the suffering of slaves a recent poll finds only one in five voters backed the move if adopted the law will officially acknowledge the legacy of american slavery and financially compensate those still affected by discrimination issue is getting a lot of attention too from fellow democrats. we have to recognize that everybody did not start out on an equal footing in this country and in particular black people have not. and so we have got to recognize that and do something about that and give folks a lift up i believe it's time to start the national full blown conversation about reparations so that we can as a nation do what's right and begin to heal there are massive disparities that

must be addressed so we're going to do everything we can to put resources into distressed communities and improve lives for those people who have been hurt from the legacy of slavery we debated the issue with conservative commentator anthony brown logan and all the research of this and it's rather opposing views. you could have identified the former slave master and a former slave or act in a moment but we're now winds are at fifty years past a particular point in time who is going to pay people who did not have slaves nobody i left a day in twenty nineteen was a slave back then so what do we gain pay for who is going to pay we're right again pay it's no more than a campaign promise from democratic hopefuls trying to get some kind of attention now you're ok with the l. o. s. and that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard they provide economic restitution to those people now if i came into your house mr a.b.l. and i stole a thousand dollars from you and then i died or if i stole

a million dollars from you and then i'd die would you say oh well reasoned i so that money doesn't matter anymore no he would go talk to my children children are still living off the benefits of that million dollars just because somebody has grand days dose of it doesn't mean i'm responsible for it if somebody is granddad was so you know a killer and then they found out one hundred years later you go after the kids and say ok you get to go to jail now or you get to pay back some money because of what your grandfather d. and makes no since you know who did it you should have been able to catch him why they were alive punished him why they were alive we want to focus on is the economic harm that was done to black people if we really break down with slavery was people were brought from across the water to work and i was free labor so what we have is here to ration years hundreds of years of systematic does the discrimination and shutting out of act economic access the black people and that has to be repaid who's going to pay it you're talking about a government that government is funded by the people that means to me that means

you will pay for it so how does it make any sense like i say it would have been more let me present how many hands you are mostly under paid as slave women parisians would have been do which is at the end to slavery not right now it makes no sense to so argue me it is no logic here. america has never even study the effects of slavery on black people they've never sat down and said we know that as a government we think this this this experience but we don't even know how far that experience reaches because no one's ever study it how much do we owe black people no one's ever studied it why because the government has literally buried it had it paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america who anywhere i want you to long to just drive if you need any. and one example i write in tears hopefully my generation will stand up and say that the buck stops here so we don't have to go on with this any longer. sponge primary school is

bound peoples from reading little red riding-hood and sleeping beauty because they like a balanced gender perspective the future additional photos are among thirty percent of the books available for that age group which have been labeled toxic two hundred titles have been removed from the library a school in barcelona this is the latest such move in the council incompetent agenda commissions are currently reviewing similar cases of us locals in barcelona for the thoughts. but only it was here 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 it 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 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. has been really with them since i was a child and i don't feel stereotyped or harmed by those books i don't think there

are such a harmful thing for a key it's. 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 these are tells that have always existed they can be adopted can be explained i think we shouldn't be censored. but it's part of the culture it has nothing to do with gender is there enough takes a look at just how far this reevaluation 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

better when you need them the wolves go to her and carry by x. had he's barely filled with the 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 hockley through his veins he lifted her it is noms and carried her to a bed where he 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 was to nine months to live delivered two beautiful children one a boy and the other a good. 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. 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 out right 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. i understand 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 the

noose around his neck during the rope over the high limb of a giant oak tree they pulled us to the paul marionette hung far out in space. 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 and with aladin i think the deal was a few wishes not a t.v. show for movies and seven video games i mean where's the genie's union when you need it and who knows how many more evils lurk under the guise of harmless children's books this is r.t. only for updates in half an hour.

by the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race of this offense theory dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's top. to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

we came here where you were before you came here when you lived. in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people that because of what they did have given up the right to live among us some are even proven innocent after years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about.
