was never going to be quiet how has the day unfolded. well yet again it's been another protest marred by violence and destruction you might just be able to hear that sounds like one of their l b d food is being fined or firing off tear gas canisters they were fired off before the protest even officially started today with protesters who are trying to leave on the procession early actually being pushed back by the police and at that point the security forces actually tried to stop the protests and used the opportunity to arrest a number of black blocks actually just behind me we've seen some of the destruction here you can see some of the motorcycles that have been burnt you can see the pavement stones that have been ripped up by the protesters behind this we know that so far there have been more than two hundred arrests today and there have been thousands of preventive checks that have been taking place over the last twenty

four hours particularly here in paris this means the police will keep the right to be able to go through people's bags to check for weapons check for anything that they felt could be used as a weapon in this protest confiscate it and also to use that then to start an arrest on that person's has said more than two hundred people arrested we're seeing the work here of the firefighters they've been trying to put out extinguish these fires that have been set off by the protesters and you can hear that tear gas just going off and of now we do understand that a number of protesters have formed a barricade just a little bit further down on this road and they are throwing grenades we understand towards the police we've seen a detriment across the roads here not just the bricks and glass but we've also seen the destruction of the shelters except for something we normally see in protests this type of destruction and there is a huge secure. you described that one group saying that this was on the get it in

the interior minister christopher cast in a said yesterday at the paris would be turned into a city of rights and there are such around seven thousand four hundred security officers out on diplomats in the city today to try and keep a lid on that that violence all the succeeding well in pockets clearly not because what we are seeing. the protests is actually you can see just running away from the police is not clear what just happened that they might be able to see a way very close to one of those barricades that has been made by the protest then it looks like some sort of scuffle is that breaking out in unfolding just before our eyes that a little bit further down on this road now in terms of the figures of the number of people who have come out to this protest today we understand the official figures at the moment stand at more than a hundred and fifty thousand that's up almost ten thousand this time last year when

of course we saw those huge scenes of violence on the may day protests it looks like these protests which should have already ended is likely to go on and that violence is set to continue yeah those blasts certainly seeming to get larger there charlotte dubin scale life in paris thank you. that's where they really saw people turn out over a local calls this italian police one to intervene in terms of special spoke right between supporters and opponents of a planned i speak. with france turkey young protesters were detained after they attempted to march this by the government over security concerns police arrested our ears around a square in central istanbul. access. to moving on to another of a headline stories today wiki leaks founder julian assange has been sentenced in britain to fifty weeks in prison for skipping bail in twenty twelve with the latest

of what we know here's artie's kid partridge whose eyesight sidewalk crown court in central and. julian assange was sentenced to fifty weeks in prison for breaching his bell conditions set in twenty twelve the judge there deborah taylor she said that the case was particularly serious and merited almost the full sentence which would have been a year she rejected the claims by his defense that she should also give him leniency due to the fact he'd already spent seven years in the ecuadorian embassy or while he was given the sentence julian assange or she was impassive standing there in the dock but his supporters up in the public gallery chanted show you when you as a sentence was passed his sentence for seeking and receiving asylum is twice as much as the sentencing guidelines the so-called speed boat killer convicted of manslaughter was only sentenced to six months for failing to appear in court during the song should be in the ecuadorian embassy here in central london for almost seventy years not sought asylum there to avoid being extradited to sweden where he

was wanted for questioning in relation to sexual offenses well his defense attorney today mark summers he presented a letter that julian assange had written trying to explain the extraordinary circumstances in which he faced and also mitigating circumstances he said that he apologised unreservedly for not handing himself into the all forty's but that he had feared being extradited to the us way he lived in fear of potentially being on death row or even ending up in guantanamo bay it was my impression that the judge had written the. decision and written it out before she heard the mitigate it was that there was absolutely no no consideration given to the very very convincing mitigating factors in this case so it's an outrage and we are shocked. but there are other legal issues to see so this was just the first of two the next one is tomorrow that's on thursday that's in westminster magistrate's court and that's an extradition hearing as part of his arrest on april the eleventh was also on behalf

of the united states who once have charged in what they see as conspiracy with chelsea manning to download and distribute what they see as classified material this case even has always been about the risk of extradition to the united states and we now have a provisional extradition request from the united states the focus of our energies will now be on fighting medics tradition. and that fight starts tomorrow the cool case on says they express expected to be extremely short very brief judy massage expected to attend the viral video link but then the u.s. prosecutors are expected to provide more evidence more details about more charges later on in june. well activists we spoke to earlier told us the ecuadorian authorities could have had an ulterior motive for expelling a songe from its embassy. leaks from within. government official leaks have indicated that there was a deal that the trump administration offered

a favorable trade deal other economic benefits including debt relief to ecuador if . was handed over and that is what appears to have happened but we haven't got that absolutely confirmed and obviously we're unlikely to because neither the top administration nor the ecuadorian government want to admit it unless we have a whistleblower who leaked the memo we won't know for certain but i suspect that it's all about a deal with the u.s. that lead to. being evicted from their could or an embassy in london in the end the u.s. will get what they want they're the biggest bully and they're going to be the one who will fight to bring him to the states there are so many powerful entities they're trying to take him down. to silence because they're afraid of the great journalism one hundred percent accurate journalism he has done for the past decade

and that is a real threat to the powers that be. calling for a final phase then a swale a self declared interim president one is the mounting another day of government protests this wednesday after initiating a so-called military operating in the capital the opposition leader has the full support of the u.s. once again with secretary of state mike palm pale saying that washington isn't ruling out sending in troops. military action is possible if that's what's required that's what the united states will do well earlier pompei it was suggested that the venezuelan president had been ready to flee the country but nicolas maduro was told to stay pert by russia. it literally had. getting prepared to go on this airplane and head out of the country before you start stop really at the direction of the

russians he was ready to leave this morning as we understand it and the russians indicated he should stay he said during his the plane ready to go to cuba to flee and the russians took him off the plane i'm forbidden to leave the country. please be serious if you will the venezuelan foreign ministry said to browning pump a statement fake news russia responded as well accusing washington of launching a dissent for mation campaign to demoralize the us whelan's that are today on paper we'll talk to his russian counterpart sergey lavrov about the crisis in caracas meantime the united states has bombed american airlines from flying over venice with political instability but with washington haven't slapped the series of sanctions on the country we're not against the of our senior correspondents being looking at what the u.s. means when it say's it stands with the venezuelan people. what a day why do so brazen attempted coup the violence on both sides

the people even why do hanging and especially strange was what the united states had to say about it we need venezuela ruled by the people of venezuela not by extra forces do you think he may have missed the irony this the bolton who's done his damnedest to ensure regime change in venezuela whose country has championed regime change sanctioned venezuela frozen billions in state funds threatened it with invasion now he's saying no one should meddle that it's up to the days whelan's to decide course not what he meant is no one but america all options remain on the table he said that would be a big mistake for me dora and those supporting him to use force against innocent

civilians mr bolton's deficient of innocent i think defers from the classic meaning look at these demonstrators with guns shooting at troops and police i suppose the bullets of full of love to if you dare hold these innocents accountable says mr bolton we might invade between the lines as thomas call a status where with you america will stand with you until freedom and democracy are restored by and can do yes. today interim president who i'm going to announce starts of a person that the u.s. government foolish supports the venezuelan people who in the quest for freedom and democracy democracy cannot be defeated what do you know they stand with the people never mind the sanctions and the misery for millions that they've caused i question is which people exactly did you say you stand with the few hundred machete gun

wielding fellows that tried to stage a violent coup or the thousands upon thousands who concurrently marched in support of the venezuelan president maduro against this coup this is clearly not a coup we recognize one go i don't know as the legitimate interim president of venezuela and just as it's not a coup when the president of the united states gives an order to the department of defense it's not a coup for wind why don't you try and take command of the venezuelan military your info mr bolton one by due who was never elected doesn't control the military or ministries or anything he is the president but nicolas maduro the actual president supported by millions the military the ministries he's not the president see what i mean by strange it's almost like the bitter and banal

things didn't go according to plan all the violent scenes that erupted in venice were left around one hundred people injured journalist norris are got reported on chooses clashes forced be aware that some of the video at the very start of her report is disturbing. it. was. going to be like. the people right here. when clay go to keep. him in the dark legal people. are.

today brave soldiers brave patriots brave people who are following all constitutional i'm sure in the cool today the armed forces are standing behind the people and the constitution the. people of missouri and others. the parking lot material well president maduro has now launched a probe into what he calls on a legal attempt saying several people are being questioned he single died to ring leader of the uprising who we just saw moments ago prominent opposition figure leopoldo lopez the spanish government has confirmed that he is now at the country's embassy in caracas lopez is the founder of volunteer unpopular and a party that quite over leads he's seen as one of the key figures behind why dogs

move to claim the presidency lopez was sentenced to thirteen years in prison and twenty fifteen for inciting public on rest but on tuesday he was apparently freed from horse arrest by his guards. well anger of the united states pressure in venice will is also in evidence there in washington where protesters have surrounded the venice will an embassy staff left the building last week complying with a state department deadline to vist say they're blocking the consulate to stop a new program stuff from getting in. so we are here twenty four seven living in here sleeping here working here from the day during the day in order to maintain our presence here in the building as a interim protective president until they believe the government of venezuela can find another protector for this building or intil the tribe to ministration stops trying to orchestrate this coup so what this is about the u.s.

government this is about saying known to us in here ial isn't saying no to us intervention in the affairs of other countries saying that the us has no right to overthrow the government of another country we've seen it before and we are not going to tolerate it to get. ahead on the program british telecom's giant vodafone refutes yet more claims that weiwei technology could secretly spying on customers. you know world big partisan movies a lot of things 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. who. just coming up to twenty minutes into the program welcome back the washington post

newspaper is warning american journalists to act responsibly with information leaks the spy previously resorting to using such sources itself and explains why so-called weaponized. sources are freely in use. with the twenty twenty presidential elections set to start dominating our headlines pretty soon the media is running crisis protocols in case wiki leaks gets back up to its old tricks so should sensitive or insider information be published what if it has an impact on the vote well the washington post has you covered ensure it don't publish weaponized gossip there if i remember the psni new deal number saw as the source of the hack in its motivation and be transparent with news consumers don't publish things before verifying them double check your sources that sounds like pretty standard journalism but apparently in the age of trump that is not common sense among the press corps anonymous sources seem to be a big trend when it comes to inside scoops about the white house anonymous sources

reportedly from the mother team an anonymous source telling n.b.c. sports the new york times citing anonymous sources the again these are all anonymous sources it's important to note that n.b.c. news has not confirmed this as a washington post report cites anonymous sources and some of this information has been almost the definition of weaponized gossip let's review some of the reporting about u.s. president donald trump that president trump called attorney general jeff sessions mentally retarded ape was a trump using the n. word and a much lighter note this evening gmo some white trump demands of two scoops of ice cream while everyone else at the table only gets one now some of this information actually turned out to be blatantly false so why was it ok to publish it without verifying it well apparently the source was someone inside the u.s. government not wiki leaks so fact check your independent sources but not anonymous figures within the u.s. government. maybe there's another idea out there remember it's illegal to possess

these stolen documents it's different for the media server that you learn about this you're learning from us it may be time to start thinking you know sort of the books about how we can prevent russia from meddling in our elections in that vein consider this admittedly radical idea. american journalists should take a pledge to not report on the contents of a hock and social media site should remove from the networks any news stories discussing hack material now the job of a journalist is to dig into facts ask bold questions and try to determine the truth them in a sea of falso it however for some in the american press the rule seems to be don't dig into facts that are inconvenient of course journalists should be careful and check their sources but that's not what the washington post is talking about or what many journalists confiding to the polls are considering doing what they're doing is talking about the examining the motivations behind the source and then considering maybe not even publishing factual information if the source and their

motivation are considered not just shady but contravening. american national security imperative in the washington post relies routinely on unnamed sources and specifically unnamed u.s. officials when it's all unnamed sources and their us officials we as the readers of the news consumers or as citizens are supposed to put our blind faith in us officialdom in the u.s. government in order to believe that those sources are correct and i think most of the public does not trust their government. british telecom's giant vodafone has denied that it's fixed line customers and it's only were exposed to a major security for nearly a decade bock the claims center on network equipment made by the chinese firm while away a bloomberg report suggested china may have been able to get or theorised access to routers in homes and businesses your response that. the issues in italy identified

in the bloomberg story were all resolved in date back to twenty eleven and twenty twelve bloomberg is in correct in saying that this could have given huawei on authorized access to the carriers fixed line network in italy so bloomberg claims the revelations could further damage the reputation of while way which is accused by the u.s. and others of spying for the chinese government the financial news service said it had been aren't seen a confidential security report from vodafone ok so the u.s. has taken aim out while we know in recent months accusing it of money laundering fraud and the theft of intellectual property while also claiming beijing exploits the firm as a spying to while away which is the world's biggest telecoms equipment supplier has denied all those allegations a social media lawyer we spoke to suspects bloomberg report is politically

motivated. these are always important to have a bomb. in order to be in a. moment to be able to say. it will be quiet and. not motivated there is probably. more. because all those who are blocked who are we are suddenly. reporting. which is of course an american company then they have been. all right that is our lot for knowledge but do stay with us because we are going behind bars next for a warts and all examination of the american federal prison system tough viewing at times incarcerating us is right ahead.

no news in the world. around the world. total there are. a lot of money we did not know. oh your ego to post could still move for you. when else truths seem wrong. but old quotes just don't hold. any old get to shape out just

a constant adjective and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. seriously folks go through a period of sort of the full schedule of the first bush but if. you're dealing with big deal well to them i do it because no i go to the. loser because it's a feeling. all of the good of you know that all of you all the good will but you know none of. us really was bad. enough but well it was pretty good way to lose the. kind of what used to which of them we don't know but i. mirrored you leave the room clearly you know did you sort of storm the lead here so

my looked up from moods submersion were doing the clue trick of quote the smurf. i was in los angeles it was march of one thousand nine hundred one. i go over and i look out the window here and there they are. in the south i was arrested and that day our father and i wanted her to bring bargain. i understand she area is not going to sound daddy and i could probably wouldn't she guide me but just to savor all the scam that's not my daughter so she wouldn't do this. and asked to resell they were under. i could not plead guilty to everything that they accuse me of is now i said not guilty and that alternately i was convicted for

conspiracy and dire received twenty four year sentence there's a way in which you have to see the conspiracy law as a very important tool of law enforcement. if the crime is selling drugs and some men in miami sells twenty kilos of cocaine to an undercover agent you want to ask who is the seller working where does the money go if the money goes back to a drug lord in colombia who's going to keep the proceeds he's in the conspiracy even though he actually wasn't there when this sale took place he's a conspirator and so part of the goal of the conspiracy law is to make sure that the most senior level all of those in the criminal organization are justly punished

the problem is when you flip it around and the lowest level people in the criminal organization get punished just like they are the key. and that's the big problem in the way in which the conspiracy laws are being applied. i know that up in federal prison in dublin california i realized that i would need to spend a lot of time in a law library and i needed to film from a arise my sound my case and everything that had gone wrong if you furthered the conspiracy one step you're guilty for everything in the conspiracy no matter when you entered the conspiracy it could have been on the last day. because i had collected some money on i technically was guilty conspiracy. held responsible for everything that everybody else had done and my sentence my twenty four years was a stand less based on the sound.
