to talk about football not for you or else you can see it go is going to go. by the way what is it that. an attack on journalism and the direct assault on the 1st amendment russian porson for media freedom groups as u.s. authorities 17 new charges against julian assange he's carrying up to 10 years in jail. and emotional truth to make calls of a day and mounting she will step down as conservative party leader on june 7th. i do so with no ill will but with enormous gratitude to apologise the opportunity to serve the country i know. 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 caliber pleading for more time. and a 21 month old but as well and girl is unable to continue with post liver transplant treatment because u.s. sanctions have blocked the charity that was paying for it. choosing a life threatening situation she could die could feel. it watching our to international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 4 pm welcome to the program. the decision by the u.s. justice department to slap julian assange with 17 new charges is raising the alarm of media freedom groups. any government use of the espionage act to criminalize the receipts and publication of classified information poses a dian 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 have a computer and it carries a maximum charge of 5 years it's 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 when we collect but in journalism itself 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 songe each carry a maximum of a 10 year sentence which means that his a vent chilled sentence could be a 175 years in prison julian assange has been charged under the us espionage act which dates back to one team 17 and so far it's only ever been used against government officials who disclosed secret information it was never used to charge journalists who publish those seat. documents and a song the weekly team and of course responders loyal supporters have always argued 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 the superseding indictment alleges that a songe was complicit with chelsea manning a former intelligence analyst in the us army unlawfully obtaining a disclosing classified documents related to the national defense all of this is very much linked to chelsea manning who leaked the now notorious iraq war logs and manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison but was then pardoned by then president barack obama back in 2017 she's now been subpoenaed to testify against a son which she refuses to do so she's actually ended up back in custody as a result of that and this whole saga really entered its new legal phase 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 for 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'd be extradited over to the u.s. and i think what's interesting here is that a stange is a very mom might characters very divisive there are more there are some people who are more keen to see him as. a hack a rather than a hero a 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 us authorities is very heavy handed he just revealed some informations of consoling everyone. and make it public. i think which may be for the good. i do not deserve that oh yes i've heard of it but i don't remember who. i'm from los angeles i have no idea he is in trouble but i have no idea why we could see it with yeah you'll see us a neighbor they are. right to. strobe 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 so long ago now that i can't actually i can't remember 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 from that's the american system idea 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 for him 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 speedplay skew should this government is going off the reservation staying the people realize that a mosque that's moving most information with new people would be aware before him for. the line for the user he will show anybody who says you are watching go. let's look back at some of the biggest 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 indiscriminate shooting of civilians in iraq a year later the so-called get no files revealed in team torture at the guantanamo bay camp and the dusts of inmates through harsh treatment and in 2016 wiki leaks revealed a pro clinton media bias during the 2016 presidential campaign and a plot to push bernie sanders out of the race. live now to move everybody who's an independent journalist welcome to the program now how much do you think these new charges will affect the chances of a song now being extradited to the u.s. . well it makes it somehow more difficult for the british to send him to to your west to extradite him because it's heavier he had one count he has 18 counts of and it is based on the espionage act in the west which is much

worse in a way so equal to face decades in prison if he's extradite him the same time you're saying that sweden as we launched the charges against him and the request for extradition for the assault on the one woman not to win a war but one woman in sweden so the poor man is is really on there are the pressure i mean all the governments are under pressure the british government is under pressure to extradite him to do us or to sweden and maybe from sweden to the u.s. so off course he will fight it with us so with us lawyers east a typical whistleblower. he wrote for a lot of journalists and. it will be a bit more difficult for the home secretary in the u.k. to to extradite him i think he could face something like the calculation has been made of 100 and some 75 years in prison but there is an element there that the fact that chelsea manning the private bradley manning has become because

a transsexual who has become chelsea manning in jail. has been condemned to 35 years in prison though he was in the american army and he served only 7 so it's hopeful for for. the heroes to story that if you could do us a song that you would be condemned to many years in prison but that you would be freed growth if you quickly. journalists oh over the world have called washington's move an attack on free press to what extent can be called a journalist as you're saying he is viewed differently by different people. well it is indeed a question he's you journalist on artie's not officially a journalist he's clearly a whistleblower his revelations the 750000 documents that were revealed thanks to manning and assault have been used by the press all over the

world and death had repercussions of course at the highest level in the u.s. and then the american army so it was really the impact was huge was enormous and it's a journalistic impact so you could consider really i think good grounds to consider that it falls under the 1st article of the constitution freedom of the press and about a case so proud about its freedom of the press that it should really consider this as as an attack on press freedom as you mentioned earlier is now being accused of violating the espionage act now traditionally cases under that act targeted only government officials why do you think that's changed now. well they had 60 days i mean the u.s. government at 60 days only to to send more superseding charges to send more charges for asking extradition to the british government of julian assange and they had to

do it down so that's within the 60 days that's why it was done quickly and they wanted to have the highest charges possible so they put everything they could into their request it can't go much further i mean 18 counts of espionage and dramatize sation of the issue is having of course what the american army says is that of course and government says you start put in jeopardy the lives of american soldiers in iraq over afghanistan or other places as well as the life of informants of journalists of other people and for that only if only for that should be condemned so you know not everybody agrees on the fact that it's pure journalism and he's only a pure whistleblower there are other issues linked to it but 30 probably will never have to do with a 175 years in jail that he risks having. independent journalist lucre of

thank you so much for your time and your comments. thank you there's more than one case of whistleblowers in the u.s. being punished for media leaks former f.b.i. agent terry allbery leaked classified data on how the bureau recruits informants for which he got a 4 year sentence in another case the winner was an n.s.a. contractor when she leaked top secret information on alleged russian interference 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 a soldier's potential fate. 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 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 years as they possibly can the point is to 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. that has claimed a 2nd prime ministerial scalp speaking outside 10 downing street theresa may express regret that she failed to get a deal over the line she will step down as tory leader on june 7th and remain leader and tell a successor chosen as made the 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 it is be the on

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. from the beginning to recently said her goal was to deliver bricks at a task she found impossible with m.p.'s rejecting her deal 3 times the agreement she's negotiated with the e.u. has been criticised by people across the political spectrum earlier this week she announced she tried a 4th time to get it passed and offered m.p.'s a chance to vote on the 2nd referendum where bracks it goes next is hard to tell what becomes of the official conservative stance depends on who succeeds may labor the main opposition party accepts the referendum result it wants a deal but not may's camp and the bracks party are both advocating

a so-called hard drugs that britain also quits the e.u. single market the liberal democrats and green party and change u.k. all want to reverse that and the 2nd referendum mark allman director of britain's crisis research institute oxford says the country faces uncertainty. 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 europe 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 looming 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 there could be a chaotic disorderly brigs that the philippines threatens the dumb tons of waste and canadian water that and more after the break. back to gisors financial survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape

out these days become educated and in gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we are not to shy to talk about how i am to should move to turn chinese navy into a blue water navy actually we have made it clear that if i need a sentry p.-l. a will be developed hopefully into a world class military xacto course it would even clued 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 present

rodriguez to terror to the mill has vowed to start shipping the trash to ottawa by next week despite kind of this plea for more time. reports. 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 it 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 that sort of stuff recyclable obviously

this happened half a decade ago and it took the filipino president threatening armed conflict to get canada to take its trash back in the middle of the night and build it water this guy in one of the. lord it. was then i would go down under 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 it can. around we're going to continue to work on this because this is a situation that is not acceptable and has gone on for 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 burned or dumped toxins 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.

ringback garners been taking in european elektra dick's waist for decades and i promise you there are very few non polluting 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 you there are

conventions of the basil convention for example the point of which was to stop 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 channel did the it was especially hard to try the candidate company violating the base of convention which the varies the movement of tough to get serious for between developing developed countries in coronation in tandem with some filipino concert for us to develop we got the stuff to come together maybe the us yet has to come together as lovely china and other developing countries and make it very clear that they ignore

that you're willing to take this kind of course he tries. washington's efforts to topple the leadership and venezuela is having a direct impact on some families in the country one young girl is now unable to receive the treatment she needs after a liver transplant because the charity that was funding it is now on the u.s. sanctions list. isabel's parents took her to argentina where her mother became a donor and doctors carried out the transplant but then isabelle experience post-op

complications or current treatment her father says she's now suffering numerous problems. currently she is showing a slight rejection because 1st she didn't continue with her treatment properly as she should have secondly her body has to accept that little piece of liver that her mother donated right now her body is rejecting it because according 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 that as well in january targeting the country's main oil company which also funds a number of charities that help sick children $7000000000.00 in assets were blocked by washington the u.s. says they think sions are aimed at toppling but it brands the dictatorship of the 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 lose the assets of the venezuelan people were taking action against a vital source of the material regimes well. meanwhile isabel is not the only child his treatment depends on charities that as well as foreign minister says children's lives are being put at risk by u.s. sanctions isabel's father thinks it's unfair his daughter and other children have to suffer. under 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 or organ could fail it's so sad that due to someone else's whim they are blocking resources for this mission when i meet this mission is the initiative of the venezuelan government to meet the needs of sick children suffering from chronic diseases that cannot be treated in the country that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our

this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it is meaningless is it with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police need is a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pen this than him and what happens in court. be. shocked shocked as far as we feel. we don't know she'll just brutal. and to destroy unfortunately you truly will still love no chill just.

if traits tensions weren't enough china's military upgrade is causing major concerns in washington so what are. in the in the pacific and across the world we ask scenario colonel gibeau a director of security cooperation for the military office of china's national defense ministry. the temperature is rising in the pacific where american naval supremacy is being challenged by china's fleet as territorial disputes threaten to escalate into full confrontation off the chinese coast will the great rivaling power as. there into an arms race parallel to the current trade war and

might regional militarization endangered decades of peace in southeast asia and the conflict between beijing and washington be avoided. scenario no as you go well come to the show it's really great to have you with us. so according to chattanooga su is this issue spokesperson for the national people's congress china's growing military spending is necessary to ensure the country's security does this mean that china is facing security threats today and if so who or which country cos it shoots such a threat. he said he's right china won't take any country as a threat but china does have a threat because china is still a country that is not really unified and china does have a land border dispute with. one and 2 countries and china also have martha.
