emotional theresa may calls it a day and i think she will step down as conservative party leader on june 7th. i do so with no ill will but with a normal. gratitude to a part of the opportunity to serve the country. an attack on journalism and a direct assault on the 1st amendment action is pouring in from media freedom groups as u.s. authorities found 17 new charges against julian assange each carrying a maximum of 10 years in jail. the philippines is threatening to dump tons of non-recyclable rubbish into canadian territorial waters should fail to take it

back. to start shipping it by next week with canada up pleading for more time. a 20 month year old 21 month old girl is unable to continue with post liver transplant treatment because u.s. sanctions have blocked a charity that was paying for. choosing a life threatening situation she could die could feel. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at q. in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. that has now claimed a 2nd prime ministerial scalp speaking outside 10 downing street theresa may amid the game was up and that she failed despite her best efforts to get her a deal over the line she will step down as tory leader on june 7th and remain prime minister and tell her successor. there has been chosen and

a conservative leadership race which will get under way officially in the week starting the 10th she made her announcement she was overcome with emotion. so i am today announcing that i will resign as leader of the conservative and unionist party on friday the 7th of june i will shortly leave the job that is be the owner of my life to hold. the 2nd female prime minister but certainly not the last. i do so with no ill will but with enormous gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country. with the defining goal of teresa mayes premiership has been able to deliver back said she has found impossible with m.p.'s rejecting her deal 3 times the withdrawal agreement she's negotiated with the e.u. it was criticised by both leavers and remainders she was hoping to make

a 4th stab at getting it passed by offering m.p. is a chance to vote on a 2nd referendum where bracks it goes next is hard to tell what becomes of the official conservative position will depend on who becomes the leader labor are the main opposition party except the referendum result it wants a deal but not may's you kept and the bracks party are both advocating a hard form of bracks that and the liberal democrats the green party and change u.k. all want to resume reverse brock's it and want a 2nd referendum live now to mark almond director of the crisis research institute oxford now the new prime minister should be announced by the end of july who do you think that the most likely to be. probably going to be one of the hardline leaders in the so to party boris johnson the former foreign secretary will dominate were all the former briggs's secretary of whom fell out with mrs may over her attempt to square the circle however it's a long time to wait and of course the 31st of all. is the deadline which great

might just be objected by the other european members from the club. do you envy it may think that they're whoever that proves to be. it's going to be a difficult task because the house of commons is still strongly against leaving the e.u. except on terms which involve remaining in a customs union almost certainly so that there's going to be a disconnect between the tory party members and supporters and presumably the people who defected to the brig's that party who are mainly conservatives who want a serious break with your ip and the members of parliament and so unless you change the arithmetic in the house of commons whoever succeeds mrs may if they want to leave the e.u. was going to face huge problems in the same sort can they force a new general election what will be the result of that we don't know but there's going to be a great deal of uncertainty and as i say there's this new deadline of the 31st of october which is the end of the extension of britain's membership and the british politicians seem to forgotten that in the modern world divorce can be initiated

from both sides the remaining members of the european union may decide we find you too much trouble we want you to leave now and so that could be a chaotic disorderly brigs that. now opposition leader jeremy corbin has already called for an immediate general election is that just wishful thinking and. it may be very wishful thinking unless he can bring together a disparate group of other m.p.'s the liberal democrats the nationalists and also the ulster unionists do you pete to vote down a new conservative prime minister and precipitate a general election it's a serious crisis my own view is it's very responsible of mrs may to say she's going to resign as leader of the conservative party but remain prime minister until they go through the process which could take many weeks to choose a new leader the conservative party should have resigned as prime minister as neville chamberlain did in 1940 let somebody else become prime minister to see if they have the support of the house of commons remember it's the british government were choosing the prime minister to lead not just the conservative party club and i

think this is going to further damage the reputation of politics in britain we have a big crisis of confidence in the political system and this is simply going to worsen it. along those lines how democratic is it that the u.k. will get a 2nd unelected what by the electorate pm in a row. i think this is a big problem yes we're facing increasing the situation people say we have a prime minister who comes to par because of the choice of 130000 conservative party members not millions of the voters we have for instance m.p.'s who defect from one party to another set up a new party but refuse to put themselves back to the voters and the voters feel that they are being snubbed and i think this is not just the brigadier voters who feel that they are not getting what they wanted but also some remain must feel that they're being ignored and so you have a growing sense of a disconnect between a parliamentary club in westminster squabbling and fighting an intriguing who can come out on top and the public which feels unrepresented and feels perhaps insulted

. what do you think may well be remembered for. sadly politics isn't a game in which trying your best is a way to win prizes she will be remembered for failing to do what she's promised to do and unfortunately she may well just be remembered in a footnote of history brief premiership that face the biggest challenge since the 2nd world war and failed to succeed in dealing with it the question is whether she will be succeeded by somebody who'll be even briefer in office and even less successful that seems to me to be the most likely result of all this but none of us despite the pros did sir poisoned chalice to receive will be plenty of people queuing up to try and get into number 10 downing street. mark almond director of the crisis research institute oxford thank you for your time. thank you.

media freedoms groups are raising the alarm over these 17 new charges filed against julian assange by the u.s. department of justice activists say this sets a dangerous precedent where a journalist can. criminally prosecuted for publishing truthful information for some going as far as to claim the us has now declared war on journalism. any government use of the espionage act to criminalize the receipts and publication of classified information poses a diet threat to journalists seeking to publish such information in the public interest irrespective of the justice department's assertion that the sun is not a journalist this is an extraordinary escalation of the trumpet ministrations attacks on journalists and the direct assault on the 1st amendment when a sandra's dragged out of london's ecuadorian embassy last month and arrested by british police he was slapped with a us extradition request immediately and it only listed one charge against him and that was a single count of conspiracy to a computer and it carries

a maximum charge of 5 years a fairly small fry but that has been padded out substantially now by washington the charges against him now list 17 counts of violating the espionage act and press freedom groups journalists whistleblower have condemned this escalation of the case that's been us indictment of his sons for bob listening is an extremely dangerous frontal attack on the free press bad bad bad the department of justice just declared war not what we can expect in journalism and so this is no longer birju in the songe this case will decide the future of media this is madness it is the end of national security journalism and the 1st amendment all the additional 17 charges heat on a song each carry a maximum of a 10 year sentence which means that his a vent chills sentence could be a 175 years in prison julian assange has been charged under the u.s.

espionage act which dates back to 1917 and so far it's only ever been used to go. government officials who disclosed secret information it was never used to charge journalists who publish those secret and a songe the weekly team and of course the sponsors of the oil supported as i have always argued that she's always only ever acted as a journalist which is something that the department of justice in washington refuses to acknowledge and they say that songes revealed the names of military informants in war zones and thus put their lives at risk superseding indictment alleges to disarm was complicit with chelsea manning a former intelligence analyst in the us army in unlawfully obtaining a disclosing classified documents related to the national defense all of this is very much linked to chelsea manning former u.s.

marine who leaked the now notorious iraq war logs and manning was sentenced to 5 years in prison but was then heartened by then president barack obama back in 2017 she's now been subpoenaed to testify against a songe which she refuses to do so she's actually ended up back in custody as a result of that and this whole saga really included new eagle day last month when a songe was dragged out against his will from london's ecuadorian embassy the ecuadorian authorities revoked his claim to political asylum he's now serving out a 50 week sentence in a london prison if the skipping bail back in 2012 when he originally entered the embassy he's also wanted in sweden stockholm is about to go through the motions of issuing their own extradition request because they want him to answer questions

about an alleged sexual assault dating back to 2010 which is why here originally sought asylum in the embassy fearing he extradite. over to the u.s. i think what's interesting here is that a staunch is a very mom might characters very divisive there are more there are some people who are more keen to see him as a hacker rather than a hero as sort of epic journalistic proportions and yet even those that don't support him have come out now and said wow this padded out more serious case against assad from the u.s. authorities is very heavy handed he just revealed some informations of consoling everyone. and make it public. i think which maybe for the good. he did not deserve that oh yes i've heard of it but i don't remember who he is i'm from los angeles so have no idea he is in trouble but

i have no idea why we couldn't see. yeah yeah you'll see us a neighbor they are. right to regard stroeve a lot of secrets all over a lot of emotion which is upset a lot of people well you see he's revealed an awful lot of secrets all different governments around the world and so it's going to go down but i can't actually i called a member the 1st talk he has done what he's done i'm sure he's paid for it and. the one year is about suitable probably and he should be protected for the rights the american system but you like you know. there's no there's probably no perfect legal system in the world you know americans. really know i mean i think i heard 75 years you know it's all about yes a little much the question is whether he faces the north or not in the united

states personally i think the man's a. lunatic to do what is an absolute travesty speed skills. this government is going off the reservation time the people realize that a mosque must move most information with new people would need to be aware before him you put yourself on the line for that he will see anybody who says you the wisest go. let's take a look back at some of the bigger revelations made by a songe over the years back in 2010 thousands of documents and classified video related to the wars in iraq and afghanistan were made public that leaked details among other things and it's going to shooting civilians in iraq a year later the so-called files revealed torture at the guantanamo bay camp and deaths resulting from treatment and in 2016 wiki leaks revealed a pro clinton media bias during the 2016 presidential campaign and the plot to push bernie sanders out of the great political activist kevin zeese says washington is

taking revenge on the songe. i think a lot of reasons why they haven't done this in the past is because songs was democratizing the media he was broadening the people who could report people inside the government inside corporations could leak classified documents anonymously they want to frighten the media into not covering us activity around the world the u.s. is also involved in there to be that could be characterized as war crimes certainly atrocities and certainly also the corruption of our transnational corporations that was all the time that he was reporting and they obviously offended wiki leaks obviously offended the united states by challenging the military industrial intelligence complex here and they want revenge and they want to send a message to any other journalist who dares tries to expose there's more than one case of whistleblowers in the u.s. being punished for media leaks and former f.b.i. agent terry all very leaked classified data on how the bureau recruits informants

for which he got a 4 year sentence reality when or was it working as an n.s.a. count contractor when she leaked top secret information on the alleged russian. ferentz she received 63 months behind bars and john kiriakou disclose details of the cia's torture program and was sentenced for 2 and a half years here's what he thinks about joining us on his future. 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 who 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 and she will not give him a fair trial it will 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 tears as they possibly can the point is to break everybody to the point where

they don't dare compromise something that might even possibly be classified this is meant to create a chilling effect all across the media not just among americans but everybody around the world. a 21 month old venezuelan girl is being denied vital medical treatment because the charity that was paying for it has been hit by u.s. sanctions her story and more after this short break. in a world of big partisan maters and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that make history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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 hard. we are not shy to talk about vision to turn chinese navy into a blue water navy actually we have but it's clear that if i need a century pill a will be developed hopefully into a world class military that of course would even crude 1st the classic chinese navy . welcome back tons of non-recyclable waste may end up in canadian waters if the

country doesn't take it back from the philippines that's the warning of president rodriguez to tear to manila has vowed to start shipping the trash to ottawa by next week despite canada's plea for more time the spot is part of a wider trend of rich countries using poor ones as their dumping grounds. explains . few of us ever wonder where all our trash goes plastic bottles old t.v.'s baby diapers you put in the bin and poof it's gone says recycling 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 that sort of stuff recycled. obviously this happened hoffer a decade ago and it took the filipino president threatening armed conflict to get canada to take its trash back in i didn't i don't build it water this guy am i not there the lord it. 2 is then i would advise you and your garbage. on a lovely big bear is grounded if 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 and cattle the territorial waters unless they acted they did eventually all well promise to kennedy's police to

announce that he has awarded a contract to bring the waste back promptly and to ensure its safe and environmentally sound disposal canada has amended its regulations to prevent this from happening again and easily looking at ways to hold the responsible parties to account how 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 been happening for decades your old phones sent to developing countries and in some cases for kids to deal with them to smash electronics with hammers and pry out the valuable parts and burn dog gumped hawks ins and chemicals leaching into the ground into water and land it isn't pretty cargo ships but it's alternative destinations vietnam malaysia thailand one over asia and africa.

garners been taking in european extradicted waste for decades and i promise you there are very few nonpolluting recycling plants there it used to be that china was the world's recycling capital they got sick of it too much pollution waste band importing certain rubbish and others following in their example malaysia will not

be the dumping ground of the world we will send the waste back to their original countries i will take care of my own rubbish you should take care of use there are conventions of the basil convention for example the point of which was to stop the rich countries from dumping all 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 at cheaper question now is where will north america europe send all their waste when the poor have had enough what challenges was especially trying to clean. the violating the basic convention digital for instance yes the cost of getting to the. being developed by these imported nation in time to get something to be the counter for us to develop we've

got to stop to come together maybe the us yet has to come together all alone in our countries and make it very clear that they're no longer willing to take this kind of calls he tries. for some families in venezuela washington's efforts to topple the leadership in caracas are having a dire personal impact the parents of one young girl are 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.

isabel's parents took her to argentina where her mother became a donor and last november doctors carried out a transplant but then isabelle experience her sob complications requiring treatment isabel's father says she's suffering from numerous difficulties that. already done with the currently she is showing a slight rejection because 1st she didn't continue with her treatment properly as she should have them and secondly her body has to accept that little piece of liver that her mother donated to right now her body is rejecting it because she quoting to the experts it is something that happens in any case because the organism adapting to the body one possibility is that her body will be able to accept it on its own the other is that it will require medical treatment and very specific care . the u.s.

imposed sanctions on venezuela in january they target the country's main oil company which funds a number of charities that help sick children 7000000000 dollars in assets were blocked by washington and the u.s. says the sanctions are aimed at toppling what it brands the dictatorship of current president nicolas maduro wish them well we'll be there to help and we are there to help action ensures they can no longer loosely assets of the venezuelan people were taking action against a vital source of the material regimes well. meanwhile isabel is not the only child whose treatment depends on charities and as well as a foreign minister says children's lives are being put in danger by u.s. sanctions isabel's father thinks it's unfair that his daughter and other children have to suffer. you know where the blockade is directed against the people my daughter because she is not able to continue with her post transplant treatment and now she is in a life threatening situation she could die her organ could fail it's so sad to do

to someone else this when they are blocking resources for this mission when i meet this mission is the initiative of david is whalen government to meet the needs of sick children suffering from chronic diseases that cannot be treated in the country . that's a global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in. yes. i.
