more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about it. with julian the phones now in jail for the m.p.'s pulled a media conference side show their support for a man they see as a hero we look at the media it's a shock you turn over the whistleblower. also this hour human rights organizations cry after a palestinian activist is denied entry to the u.s. we spoke to omar barghouti about his experience. with the u.s. administration has been mobilized snow to do israel's bidding and trying to silence . its true even international committed state funders. and the belgian government center for cyber security to find evidence of any threat from wall way despite the chinese tech giants being accused of spying by the u.s. and allies.

you're watching r t international bringing you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. wiki leaks co founder julian assange is now in prison i have a hearing next month on extradition to the us you lawmakers have spoken to the media outside the jail they've been scheduled to meet a songe in london's ecuadorian embassy until last week's arrest and he has the details. i'm outside the prison where julian assange is being held in custody it's a category a prison in south east london now today members of the german bundestag and the european parliament's were in front of the prison holding a press conference protesting against a songes arrest they believe it sets a dangerous precedent wide search and that's. john at least he's

a whistle blower and he needs international protection and not the criminal criminalization we we say he gave. the truth he delivered to provide the truth to the public about the war crimes you rock and afghanistan and therefore he should be awarded more criminalized if he says that most of the sins of the knights and states his accusers by being as he can be in prison for all their lives i mean it's not fair because you're only the now's the cases that corruption cases the right information to society and to people in the wall now the spanish pay and a memorandum of the times talking to a area where she received an official invitation from the ecuadorian embassy to visit a song on monday however this was of course not possible over the weekends we had there were many supporters head right outside belmarsh prison carrying banners with

the phrase don't shoot the messenger and since julian the sanchez erasto we've seen an outcry from an international audience regarding the potential extradition to the united states if anything though this is made people more aware about the revelations of wiki leaks and about questioning people and political power but the people i spoke to earlier the chairman m.p.'s and the spanish i mean well they believe some kind of this information campaign is starting against a songe and they're very concerned about the potential extradition haring to be held on may the second while some politicians openly support us and others have made dramatic about turns from any positive comments they may have ever made about . wiki leaks wiki leaks which really what you leaks it's been amazing what's coming out on wiki leaks shakeel it's. the wiki leaks achilles wiki leaks wiki leaks i love what you

like. clearly the president was making a joke during the twenty sixteen campaign. you know nothing about wiki leaks it's not my thing. and it seems trump is not the only one who has gone through a change of heart once hailed as a hero by much of the media outlets now appear largely to have turned on him painting a songe as a villain monica 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 and the city character you are i've attempted u.s. military. because i'm an actual james bond supervillain and i'm one step away from destroying the god. because reality is entirely less funny what i was faced a tidal wave of smear really ugly stuff a little over a decade ago the u.s. military declared war on wiki leaks drop a plan which was radically 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 give eeks was news wiki leaks is an online news organization that specializes in publishing documents alleging government and corporate misconduct we invited judy and 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 cheered america's wars such as the atlantic put out the seas pact hate mails or the equivalent of musingly enough the hacker behind this

story first calls out assad just permissibility 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 foreign agent in the united states first arrived on the scene i stand ready to answer your inquiry unlike other networks and publications who all learned at the same time that assigns 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 he's a publisher news he's a journalist he. and the material that he leaked we know from the pedestrian mails from the war logs is real and credible and was published by mainstream

organizations once it was released by wiki leaks the very news organizations that over many did over several decades of which the documents to wiki leaks provided are almost instantaneously once those documents route turned on assigned him so ray prodding from the national security state so of course it was an effort to discredit and to carry out of very sustained and unfortunately quite effective. character assassination of the shah assigned to isolate him and demonize him in the eyes of the public. 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 assange 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. aide really yes yes of course as sanjay did hillary never did anything wrong she was perfect wasn't she. a prominent palestinian activist has been prevented from flying to the u.s. from israel despite having a valid visa omar barghouti is the co-founder of a movement to boycott israel and 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. 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 in 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 politicization of borders so far american authorities have refused to comment and sustain 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 panel discussions with policymakers and journalists are good co-founded the boycott divestment and sanctions movement. in two thousand and five it calls on the international community to stop supporting israel and its companies it also seeks to return west bank territory to palestinians in turn israel accuses the movement of being anti-semitic tendai current director of the jerusalem center for public affairs

says the decision to deny barghouti entry was not arbitrary think that is that the argument that we're hearing all over the place is that this is what they call the shutting of mouse in the and the closing of free and the prohibition of free speech but this is not the issue of omar barghouti omar 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 terror get as asians by the united states and europe so they don't like to have those types of terror link to individuals coming into the united states. today over half 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 who support the movement omar barghouti again says this legislation comes from fear of the movement growing in popularity. the u.s. supreme court to 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 the 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 trade unions churches women's groups energy beauty groups and so on and so forth. the chinese tech giant weiwei has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent months amid claims its products help spy on countries for beijing but now the belgian center for cyber security says it's found no evidence that companies technologies pose any

sort of threat peter oliver has the details. the belgium center for cyber security the c c b of completed well the main part of their investigation into chinese telecommunications giant who are way they say that they pose no threat to the security in belgium to cyber security in belgium they say they will continue monitoring the situation however this whole investigation was started amid allegations that who are way products could be used for spying to date we do not have sufficient evidence to establish a new threat coming from core of a final report on the issue will not be produced as yet because this edition is to get more neutered. prime minister sharon's michel hasn't made any statement as of yet he had said he would hold back comment until he'd heard from the c c b that comments seemingly at the bottom of his to do pile right now but the one group that

have been very vocal against who are away and continue to be very vocal is the united states now allegations coming from the u.s. leveled at the chinese telecommunications giant include that they are spying on governments for beijing that they're stealing intellectual property that they used in money laundering and in bank wire fraud as it stands across the e.u. there's no unifying attitude towards who are way products here in germany there was draft legislation put forward that would make. a increased standards on telecommunication companies operating within germany and as it stands that could push away out of the market that prompted applause from the united states saying we need more like this please it's hard to see how chinese technology would meet that standard at this point we're looking for governments to adopt security standards

like we're seeing in germany however the standards laid out in the draft proposal by the german government aren't that difficult for who are way to live up to and then of course there was also the incident that followed the u.s. telling germany that they shouldn't use products or that prompted angler merkel the german chancellor to say you don't tell us whose products we should be using for our own security methods what we're hearing though from the chinese side from who are way themselves is they deny all of the allegations and charges that are being brought against them. british and this is. just. the. yes. so. this

is going to continue for some time yet though the big question that's being asked is all these concerns that are being raised by the united states a genuine concern for the security of the european allies or is it more along the lines of if they want to cut the chinese telecommunications giant out of the market and convince the european partners that for security services they should buy u.s. products political analysts just of chuang things the findings by the cyber security center could mean the e.u. doesn't now follow the u.s. spam. then purple it would be the three and the. three who joined the american boy court of law way at the moment he brought the union petition and it's. time now and to arrive at an agreement.

on a pivot we even know allowing the european union we will act as though nothing no treatment the united government will continue on. despite the fact that no american agreement. who told the president they have the war is very likely. euro skeptic parties are enjoying a spike in popularity with e.u. elections around the corner prompting some to allege russia is trying to influence the outcomes all the details after the break.

join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see that. what holds us do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an injury. or something i want. to go right to the press this is like the flag for you the more people. i'm interested always in the water. they said.

welcome back the european elections are looming with support for and tell you party is on the rise it comes amid fresh allegations of russian backing charlatans he 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 outpacing their established mainstream rivals but that was 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 tag 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 a hundred and fifty seats in the parliament but he has competition from his own new

coalition government partner five star its leader luigi demaio is also looking to make a new alliances with four other parties outside italy and let's not forget that unexpected twist to the course the u.k. . a witch wasn't even supposed to be a member of the e.u. by now is also looking to field candidates no i joe for all she thought it already hung up his recent shoes is dipping his toes back again this time with a brand new party actually named breaks it i can't imagine what it stands for this party is not here. just to fight the european elections 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 i'm voting because i'm out day night the twenty third of may. is the first step of the blacks it is the art house and mission

is to change politics pretty good to change us thank you. that's a straight to the problem for the euro and there's nothing to do with the haitians that the left and the democratic the democratic hide them in their own the people are not on the so-called further you have been committed to that project because the political project that their fantasies now they're going to make the people if you have these appear and become one great people you know. the utopian people will need your claim of the other another investigation is that they were going to prove a collusion between the time campaign and herself a conclusion from which means a neck and active behavior on the part of the time campaign and then that case as to the collapse it is being refuted by the middle pool 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 is in effect the putin agent of a is in the pocket book at the the country which is totally for one of these mean cleanest collapsed the reason is why should we believe the other claims. popular american fast. chick fil a has been banned from a number of u.s. airports after its owner expressed support for the quote biblical 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 their support discrimination have no place operating in taxpayer funded public facilities. we know that this is a strong an inclusive community we need to make sure that business is there 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. 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 they probably already know so why do you think you can change their mind this is childish. that's a news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today. will be taking over and about thirty minutes thanks for tuning in wherever you may be.

you know world of big news. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media. refuses to tell. me to be smart 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 we're 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 and most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given

up the right to live among us somebody 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. seemed wrong. to me but yet to shape out these days to come to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she stood up for common ground.

this jug where her cocaine is were four bucks with the under thirty if the jug everybody used code and. cocaine you can smoke it this is worth fifty thirty. twenty. score came to this is about a fifteen dollar big people smoke this one got bigger second sweetie you can find these drugs in any city in the united states that you want and long as you or want to get what i do. i make money. and that's what i do every day.

basically a lot of drugs come in from south america or mexico for any other countries you know that they can funnel them in the throat and every time it's sold it stepped on or cut or gets less and less and less powerful so by the time it gets to the street level and certain towns it's nowhere near as potent as it was when it was certainly you know just brought in the trafficking goes on all the time and there are so many different ways people putting it in their n s m a condom putting it in that wooden figure that might be a souvenir you can cut it half hollowed out that with a baggie of cocaine or whatever and then seal it back up varnish it as a souvenir from wherever you went to people having it run for them by you. what's called a meal so you have somebody running it in so the person who's buying it has somebody

who's basically going to get in trouble for trafficking it in on a plane or whatever so a lot of this brought in that way and again it gets stepped on more and more and more as as it goes by the thing is you can't stop it as long as people want it i mean now people in america are taking tide laundry detergent in back in the one nine hundred fifty s. they started glu i mean they still do that but anything that changes your perception and it's such a problem all the time and it isn't always just the drugs are going to mess you up it's that it's all the dangerous things that go on around. the violence because this is money it's business and if you mess with it you can get.
