for more time. it's 8 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from all studio with me welcome to the program media freedom groups all raising the alarm over the 17 new charges filed against you by the u.s. department of justice activists say this sets a dangerous precedent where a journalist can be criminally prosecuted for publishing truthful information with some going as far as to claim the u.s. has declared war on journalism. takes a look at the charges. the u.s. justice department announcing on thursday it 70 new charges being leveled against julian assange as a result of his leadership in editorship of wiki leaks and we understand that's come from a federal grand jury in virginia that new indictment and it comes after

mr science was arrested in the ecuadorian embassy and according to the rules if they want the u.s. studies to extradite mr assad and they have only 60 days from the point of his arrest to add those charges and we are within that period and that's probably why we are seeing this flurry of new accusations flying against the former wiki leaks added and the u.s. justice department releasing a statement as to their reasoning behind this latest development a federal grand jury returned an 18 count superseding indictment today charging julian p. songe 47 the founder of wiki leaks with offenses that relate to a songes a legit role in one of the largest compromises of classified information in the history of the united states the superseding indictment alleges that his son was complicit with chelsea manning a former intelligence analyst in the us army in unlawfully obtaining an disclosing

classified documents related to the national defense now their accusations and center around claims that mr assad has violated u.s. national security violated the law by taking in soliciting they say classified information from then bradley manning now chelsea manning miss manning was sentenced to jail for 35 years before being pardoned by the former u.s. president barack obama she herself has been subpoenaed again to testify in this case and has refused to do so the portably telling the judge that she would rather starve to death than testify she would argue as would mr signs and others that their journalists merely. acting in the public interest where is the u.s. government argument is that this was a case that national security and as a result of that and miss manning's resulting decision not to testify she remains in prison and it will remain to be seen exactly what happens to mr science as

a result of these indictments. yeah spinout act on the witches songs was charged dates back to the days of the 1st world war and so far has been used against government officials who disclose secret information but never before to charge journalists publishing such materials the justice department argues that a scientist publications reveal the names of military informants in warsaw and putting their lives on the line we can lease the brainchild of a song which condemned the filing of additional charges calling it quote the end of reporting on national security whistleblower edward snowden has slammed the move as a war on journalism the reporters committee for freedom of the press has described the new charges as a diet threat to journalists seeking to publish information in the public interest each of the 17 charges assad is facing carries a maximum of 10 years meaning the whistleblower could end up spending decades if not the rest of his life in jail whistleblower john kerry who told us the u.s.

authorities are sending a chilling message to the global journalistic community. i think that they're going to try to make an example of julian he's been charged in the eastern district of virginia and is judge was also my judge and snowden's judge and jeffrey sterling's judge who reserves every national security case for herself she's a hanging judge she will not give him a fair trial it would be impossible for julian to receive a fair trial in the eastern district of virginia so i think that they're going to try to extradite him as quickly as possible and they're going to try to give him as many years as they possibly can the point is too great we're everybody to the point where they don't dare compromise something that might even passably be classified this is meant to create a chilling effect all across the media not just among americans but everybody around the world. meanwhile janice in france are also feeling the heat

bin and poof it's gone says recycling it even feel good about it but it doesn't disappear it isn't all recycled much of it shipped away for poor people to deal with. obviously canada is not taking this issue nor account you seriously the filipino people are grimly insulted about canada treating this country as a dump site imagine the surprise in the philippines when dozens and dozens of recycling waste containers they got from canada turned out to be packed with just trash household rubbish diapers had sort of stuff recyclable obviously this happened ha a decade ago and it took the filipino president threatening armed conflict to get canada to take its trash back in i didn't build it water this.

lord it. 2 was done i would go down and. got a big. bear is going to this that you don't. need it if you want to can you imagine it war over canadian trash there were other creative threats the philippines threatened to dump rubbish in canada's territorial waters unless they acted they did eventually all well promise to we are looking forward to having a solution to present to canadian shortly and to and to our filipino partners we're going to continue to work on this because this is a situation that is unacceptable and has gone on for far too long kennedy's police announced that he has awarded a contract. trying to bring the waste back promptly and to ensure its safe and environmentally sound disposal canada has amended its regulations to prevent this

dumping rule their waste on poor nations but there are no punishments violates the will it's simple economics for most waste recycling properly is difficult expensive but dumping waste on those desperate enough to go through it by hand manually that's cipa question now is where will north america europe send all that waste when the poor have had enough when president there to give bill to them and beat them i think he can it's got the message now they're going to pay for it for more $1000000.00 in order to take care of the logistics and financial needs pretty stressed again is to be taken back to canada supported for developing countries like the philippines to ensure that there are not companies or individuals in the government who do these kinds of deals because what china that it was essentially are the private canadian kompany is violating the basic

convention which go for instance movement of toxic materials sort of developing between developing and developed countries in coronation in time that we've some filipina counterpoint there has to be a domestic craft and punishment of these kinds of companies and individuals but at the same time they're also possibly more to lothair less work to develop because the stuff to come together maybe to us you know has to come together all along which and in our developing countries and make it very clear that they're no longer willing to take this kind of toxic trust. to some families in venezuela washington's athens to topple the need to ship caucus on having an diapers. will impact the parents of one young girl in despair as she's now unable to receive the treatment she needs after her liver transplant because the charity that was funding it is on the u.s. sanctions list isabella is a 21 month old baby suffering from a congenital disease her mother became a donor and last november doctors carried out

france about possible infringement on media freedom and now it's ringing even loudest still with a 5th journalist have been being summons to meet with the country's intelligence services. this is. a season list from the french daily movement. an explosive story concerning a security aide to president and manual knockoff only this man alexander who was accused of beating up the may day protests in 2018 whilst wearing a police helmet videos also emerged of the incident. with me. was i. since

then she has continued to write about the banal or a fair point in the history of the current administration is being accused of covering up the affair by failing to report to the authorities and while banal a was the latest sacked he remains the subject of a number of ongoing inquiries limone says it's concerned by the summons and stands by its articles. it is in the public interest to be able to investigate aides inside and the matin yonge and their outside links and associates the new someones is all the more worrying as it follows a similar procedure used very recently going to other journalists what he's talking about is the fact that the secret service is here have already questioned 3 journalists who publish details how french soldiers saudi arabia and the united arab emirates were being used in the war in yemen their investigation was based on

a leaked military intelligence dossier showing that tanks artillery and ships are being used in yemen something the government has repeatedly denied with president saying he's even received assurances that french weapons are not being used in yemen and that is said to stand from disclose is one of those who was questioned he told r.t. it immense to intimidation and. we were very surprised that we were summoned because it's unusual for journalists to be treated in this way we were summoned yesterday morning disclosing national defense secrets we were told from the beginning that we were not there is journalists and the case would be decoupled from our role as journalists i think the freedom of speech needs to be supported by as many people as possible this is not an isolated case there have been many documented instances of intimidation especially during rallies. a 4th journalist

has also been summoned as a witness in this inquiry over whether these journalists compromise national defense secrecy it's provoked outrage from human rights organizations the undersigned n.g.o.s consider the information unveiled by disclose and its partners to be of essential public interest the threat of prosecution against the 3 journalists constitutes an unacceptable threat to press freedom and the protection of journalistic sources $37.00. media outlets in france have also voiced support for their clearly saying they would just doing that job so the fear now is that these actions could constitute pressure on journalists particularly in a bid to reveal their sources something that would break the profession's code of ethics so let's. see paris. don't try this war with democrats might be dragging america into another war in the middle east stories

that after this break. most people think this is this you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice or the biggest read. truth to stand listens you just the right questions and the right answers. question. we are not shy to talk about vision to turn chinese navy into a blue water navy actually we have but it clear that if i need a century

a will be developed hopefully the world class military. would even crude a 1st class the chinese navy. welcome back to the program donald trump is prepared to do anything to escape the possibility of impeachment including starting a war with iran according to one us democrat. i believe that the president of the united states is on the cusp of taking us to war without the consent of congress because he fears impeachment just think about it now we're at war with iran everybody is afraid of iran the whole middle east is in turmoil and we are impeaching a president in his latest statement the us president has said he doesn't think

additional troops are needed in middle east adding though that he's ready to send more in to confront iran from sucked into fence secretary however has been more adamant about the matter confirming that the american presence that needs to be bolstered. do you consider sending troops to the middle east to go into iraq no i don't think we'll need it but if we need it we'll have we'll be there in whatever number we need but we're looking for other things that we do force protection steps which. is being said we have now heard from the pentagon's acting chief that would be patrick shanahan and he has confirmed that yes indeed the reports that it is being considered for in an increase in the u.s. military presence the sending of more troops to the middle east that is indeed correct now he denied these specific numbers that were being raised in some of the press reports we've also heard

a response from the iranian president hassan rouhani he has said that iran is ready to face any pressure and to defend itself even if the usa ends up using bombs against his country they are prepared to stand strong and defend themselves now on wednesday the u.s. senate foreign relations committee took a vote and the idea of the vote would be to not fund any unauthorized action against iran taken by the white house now the vote did not pass it failed so now in response to the vote not passing we heard from senator chris murphy he's a democrat and he warned that the trumpet ministration could utilize certain loopholes in the existing u.s. law in order to carry out a strike against iran without the authorization of congress secretary of state mike pompei oh along with acting pentagon chief patrick shanahan recently went to capitol hill for a meeting behind closed doors with members of both the house and senate members of

congress not everyone was too happy with how that meeting went on very much but intentionally or unintentionally we can create a situation in which a war will take place a war that will go on and on and on. that's been our worry from the beginning that this is blind escalation with the hope of goofy arabians will come to the table and the best thing to happen is for everybody to come down in iran to back off and i'm hoping that this show of force will result in deescalating know this goal is now a recent poll was conducted among the american people to see how they feel about the danger and possibility of an escalation with the islamic republic of iran now the poll showed that more than half of americans do believe that in the coming years there will be a war between the usa and iran however only 12 percent favored a 1st strike favored the usa launching this war while over 60 percent were adamant

that the usa should not launch such a conflict should not take action to spark a conflict between the 2 countries so at this point as many are nervous about the apparent escalation about the talk of us troops on their way to the region many people are keeping their eye not only on the middle east but also on capitol hill and on the white house wondering what will happen next. for more than hoffa russian activists have been battling with what's been a whale illegally court is being held and time is underway but despite international outrage over the conditions the animals are being kept and he's refusing to release them. if you want to know what it's up to do with your miracles visit a mosque have been kept in the will breeze and for 8 months so far there has been suffering we're asking the court to set the wheels free and to do the legal to kitchen.
