i feel. prison awaiting for his fate to be decided we look at the media's dramatic regarding the. paling him first as a hero of journalism as a villain. human rights organizations cry foul after palestinian activist is denied entry to the u.s. we spoke. about his experience. of the u.s. administration has been. trying to silence. u.s. republican senator. what he calls genocide as

an invasion is being discussed behind closed doors. he's now talking about military options so this could be. some kind of humanitarian intervention to save venezuela. it's nine o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international live from with me welcome to the program wiki leaks founder julian assange is now in prison waiting for his fate to be decided at an extradition hearing in may one is touted as a hero by much of the media outlets now appear to have turned on him painting him as a villain. looks at what's behind his fall from grace. you want to see just

how radically the media you turned on a songe from champion of the press to a leper an outcast all you need to do is watch saturday night live it's comedy but boy does it hit home. thanks to wiki leaks you can see how corrupt governments operate in the shadows and then lie to those who elect them thanks to facebook you can finally figure out which sex in the city character you are i've attempted u.s. military. because i'm an actor james bond supervillain and i'm one step away from destroying the god. because reality is entirely less funny what i songes faced a tidal wave of smear really ugly stuff a little over a decade ago the us military declared war on wiki leaks drop a plan which was actually need a plan to discredit it and terrorize whistleblowers and it looks like they're

winning. wiki leaks uses trust as a center of gravity by showing insiders leakers and whistleblowers who pass information to wiki leaks personnel or who post information to the websites that they will remain anonymous the identification exposure terminations employment criminal prosecution legal action against current or former insider is leakers or whistleblowers could potentially damage or destroy the center of gravity and deter others from considering similar actions from using the wiki leaks website back then at the turn of the decade as sanj was a hero of the pundits cheered his leaks exposing bush era war crimes exposing the elites corporations politicians how they loved him for it was outstanding journalism their words he was given on or after on or including the economist's new

media award back then we can mix was news wiki leaks is an online news organization that specializes in publishing documents alleging government and corporate misconduct we invited judean a song editor in chief of wiki leaks in pity. how times have changed what was news in two thousand and ten is enemy propaganda now journalistic hero or enemy agent asks the same economist neither reads the subtitle just a useful idiot who the economist awarded for his stellar journalism or take time magazine who gave their front cover to a songe in two thousand and ten now they run virtual hit pieces quoting and headlining anyone that doesn't like a songe it seems be it hillary clinton or a judge that met him once and labeled him

a narcissist gets much dirtier uglier out. outlets that have historically supported and she did america's wars such as the atlantic put out cc's pact hate mails or the equivalent of musingly enough the hack behind this story first calls out assad has promiscuity with facts and almost immediately after says this artist angle on his question more and indeed one might inquire how it came to pass that the spin off of a kremlin propaganda organ and now registered for an agent in the united states first arrived on the scene i stand ready to see your inquiry unlike other networks and publications who or learned at the same time that might be leaving the embassy we could leaks told everyone unlike them we took it seriously we went and documented what happened this is called journalism journalism like

what i did when he exposed various war crimes at the end of the day come on we all know the exact moment these people turned against their former hero. maybe you're kind of picking up where julian a songe was before he went bad because we used to like a bit of we used to really be doing a good service and then something happened i guess his hatred for hillary clinton maybe is would turn him basically into someone who was a russian. aid really yes yes of course as hated hillary never did anything wrong she was perfect wasn't she. for what he has done according to hillary clinton however nearly released f.b.i. documents suggest she and her team also have things to answer for as artie's eagle shit ton of explains. e-mails the reason why you freddy krueger is dressed up as an

i.t. guy in hillary clinton's nightmares the f.b.i. found almost fifteen thousand and released e-mails in two year long investigation of her private server the head of the f.b.i. called you out for careless handling of classified documents said she believed the c.v. for confidential and some documents actually stood for the order of paragraphs some three years on when everyone thought it was all over and gone new f.b.i. documents reveal more juicy details like what happened to our half of the e-mails that were raised clean by the clinton team we're not talking just a few dozen or hundred or even a thousand e-mails here we're talking some thirty thousand all private according to clinton she did provide a detailed and meticulous explanation of how she picked which e-mails to delete how and who exactly wiped her server that potentially stored top state secrets except

clinton did none of that instead she felt like joking about it. did you like the surface well like the cloth or something that well no. i don't know how it works digitally at all. it's because you know wipe has two meanings delete or cleaning off that wine stain from last week and it's funny because it's cold but ok now that you're all done laughing hundreds of newly revealed f.b.i. documents shed light on how the was white a company called plot river networks did all the dirty works and these conversations between two of its employees leave no questions as to why they think they did it it's all part of the hill recover up over ration i'll have to tell you about it of the party. thanks for the heads up but even with only half of the

e-mails available the new have be i papers reveal that from the get go key people had no doubt the server compromised classified material i have personally reviewed hundreds of documents in the h r c collection i can now say without reservation that there are literally hundreds of classified emails in this collection maybe more when this collection is released in its entirety the potential damage to the foreign relations of the united states could be significant one of the reviewers of the clinton then intelligence community inspector general charles mccullough first a fight in the senate that documents beyond top secret were stored on the north the right server here is what happened next there was personal blowback to me to my family to my office i was told by members of congress be careful you're losing your credibility are people out to get to there was an effort on the certainly on the

part of the campaign to mislead people in the sense that there was nothing to see here. the clinton campaign released a statement in two thousand and fifteen claiming that none of the e-mails had been classified at the time and were only assigned levels of secrecy as a result of the investigation yet the f.b.i. knew everything from the panic signs setting in over the secrecy of the information handled by this to the clean up crew admitting a cover up but eventually james komi sided with clinton although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case although the department of justice makes final decisions on matters like this we are expressing to justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case well this is been the problem all along i mean we had james komi who was

practically a criminal accomplice in helping hillary evade prosecution or conviction or even charges for what she did and this is this is not even a minute factor this is the main factors that the f.b.i. is no longer an objective and i guess you could say ethical law enforcement agency . a prominent palestinian activist has been prevented from flying to the u.s. from israel despite having a valid visa. is co-founder of a movement to boycott israel which seeks to end what it considers the jewish state's oppression of palestine we spoke to him to hear his story. i was. prevented from boarding a flight of eve airport because under instructions from the u.s. consulate u.s. immigration have banned me from entering the u.s. despite having a valid visa and valid travel documents we see this as outsourcing its

mccarthyite antidemocratic repression against the b.d.s. movement for human rights in palestine to the united states the us administration has been mobilized now to do israel's bidding and trying to silence palestinian israeli and international human rights defenders who are active in this extremely important and very effective nonviolent b.d.s. movement. human rights groups have expressed outrage at washington's decision calling it the politicize ation of borders so far american authorities have refused to give any comment saying all information relating to the case is confidential barghouti was traveling to the u.s. to take part in a speaking tour at several prominent universities including our panel discussions with policymakers and journalists barghouti co-founded the boycott divestment and sanctions movement known as b.d.s. in two thousand and five it calls on the international community to stop supporting

israel and its companies it also seeks to return the territory in the west bank to palestinians in turn tell of eve accuses the movement of being anti semitic anti-cult director of the jerusalem center for public affairs says the decision to deny barghouti entry was not arbitrary. think that is the that's the argument that we're hearing all over the place is that this is what they call the shutting of mouths in the and the closing of free and the prohibition of free speech but this is not the issue of omar barghouti or more barghouti from the united states point of view as a foreign agent with terror links to the islamic jihad p f l p hamas and other designated to or get as asians by the united states and europe so they don't like to have those types of terror link to the vigils coming into the united states. today the heart of all u.s. states have introduced laws penalizing boycotts against israel earlier this year the senate passed

a bill allowing states to terminate contracts with entities which support the boycott movement barghouti again says in this legislation comes from fear of the movement growing in popularity. the u.s. supreme court ruled that boycotts for political social and economic change are considered free speech protected by the first amendment of the us constitution so all those twenty seven states are following israel's orders basically but they're violating their own u.s. constitution we will challenge that we are challenging that in u.s. courts a.c.l.u. is challenging at least three states on their antidemocratic. laws and we think we will prevail in the struggle israel is trying to suppress b.d.s. from above by passing laws because it has miserably failed to stop the immense growth of the movement at the grassroots level among the unions churches women's groups energy beauty groups and so on and so forth. european elections are

looming and with support for parties on the rise it comes amid fresh allegations of russian backing shelling reports. anti establishment parties already set records in the twenty fourteen election winning one hundred and sixty seats more than twenty percent of the parliament if the current polls are anything to go by and they'll smersh these figures at the expense of the traditional big block alliances with new comers from both the left and the right embracing social media they're out pacing their established mainstream rivals but that's caught some questioning whether there is a secret driving force behind it all it's russian meddling of course what else are you thinking there is no doubt that russia will be

a major malign actor we have twenty seven countries participating in that election and they are not equally well prepared to avoid and prevent foreign meddling russia is very likely to try to intervene in the european parliament elections to secure as many seats as possible for the pro russian or euro skeptical political forces the media are lapping it up with just over a month before the european elections the starting guns have been fired a new tank teams are forming particularly amongst anti establishment parties in italy to use ovine as the league has announced a joint venture with parties from at least five other countries well his alliance has hopes of winning big by taking one hundred and fifty seats in the parliament but he has competition from his own new coalition government partner

five star its leader luigi to my o.e. is also looking to make new alliances with four other parties outside italy and let's not forget that unexpected twist to the course the u.k. . which wasn't even supposed to be a member of the e.u. by now is also looking to field candidates no i joe for or she thought it already hung up his recent is dipping his toast back again this time with a brand new party actually named breaks it's hard to imagine what it stands for. this party is not here. just to fight the repeal actions and the twenty third of may this year this party is not here to ask people simply to express their anger by going to the ballot box and voting present day night the twenty third of may. is the first step of the back seat art house and mission is to change

politics pretty good to change thanks that's a straight to the problem for the euro and there's nothing to do with the haitians the left and the democratic the democratic hide them in their own the people are not on the so-called far you have been committed to that project because the political project that their fantasies now they're going to make the people of you have disappear and become one great people you know. the utopian people will need your claim of the other investigation is that they were going to prove a collision between the time campaign and a conclusion from which means a neck and active behavior on the part of the time campaign and then that is as to the collapse it is being refuted by the media hope or for months and years the mainstream media the liberal media the so-called democratic media in the united states but also in europe also in france at least has been repeating things

business that can be seen effect the putin agent of a is in the pocket book at the the coming which is totally for one of these mean cleanest collapsed the reason is why should we believe the other claims. the us republican senator calls for military action to prevent what he calls a genocide by venezuelan president nicolas maduro or not after this short break. you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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. when more make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round. the one percent. we can all middle of the room. welcome back to the program a us republican senator has called for military action in venezuela in order to prevent what he's calling

a genocide by president nicolas maduro washington recognized the venezuelan opposition leader one as interim president in january and has repeatedly stated that all options are on the table if winter doesn't go. we've got to really consider whether we do military. you know help getting us 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 meanwhile an american a think tank called the center for strategic and international studies so c.s.i.s. has reportedly held an on off the record to assess the use of military force in venezuela and list of roughly forty attending of the event and its current and former u.s. officials including from the state department my colleague mail harvey spoke to my experiment to the editor and crazed common woman behind the report. i confirmed that the meeting took place with a staffer at c.s.i.s.

however she refused to give me details group 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 us a great jesse for international development limited 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 or edris. and

they don't seem to be removing material the u.s. has called on the military in venezuela to turn on with their own they've stood firm and honored the constitution in one. on a tour around venezuela and he's not rallying the crowds the u.s. had hoped for and so i see this secret or private meeting at c.s.i.s. as evidence of the us is desperation and they're trying to find any means to dislodge material after several months if the us was a military force to go in to a sovereign nation do you think that the people of america would tolerate that or not i think this would cause an existential crisis for the trumpet ministration many people think oh trump would be happy to distract from his problems but i think you would see the anti-war movement similar to the kind that we had during the invasion of iraq with hundreds of thousands of people in the streets and you'd have a catastrophe across south america the entire region right in. so-called backyard

would be destabilized so many ways this is unworkable but i never underestimate the arrogance of washington to. make this. popular american fast food chain chicken to fail a has been banned from a number of us ports office and express support for the definition of the family unit something that didn't fly with the community. everyone has a place here and everyone should feel welcome when they walk through our airport.

the use of chick fil a number present our state and business is the support discrimination have no place operating in taxpayer funded public facilities. we mow the. this is a strong man inclusive community to make sure that businesses that respect these values. sure i'm aware of their beliefs but i personally get a kick out of thinking how each time i walk in there they've served my gate plus it's good chicken if they aren't willing to give up a burger they aren't going to give their tickets to gays who go there probably already know so why do you think you can change their mind this is childish. i'll be back in around thirty minutes time but do stay with us next step is going underground here are international or renegade if you're watching us from.

we came here where you were before you came here when you live. 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 of the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the right to live among us somebody's been proven innocent years on death row and how many more races is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. the. people.

who devoted to follow. the path has nothing. time after time see we're going underground twenty five years to the day of the creation of the world trade organization for ever known for the seattle uprising against it and the neo liberalism it swept all around the world coming up in the show and the right wing governments of the leave a group meet in peru investigators olds on democracy around the world from venezuela to the united states to britain with alleged read messages of journalist
