in a moment change of attitude u.s. mainstream media now warn of the dangerous precedent being set for journalists by washington's intensified pursuit of julian assange. mr trump announces he sending more troops to the middle east and speeding up arms sales to the region to keep iran in check. you know 30 reasons why about a teen who kills herself sparks fresh outrage with critics saying that it should be pulled from the platform for a month suicide our guests debate the issue. the problem is that they did kind of you know glamorized kind of romanticize this idea behind it we have to give the responsibility on this are put the onus on the parents i think parents have to be

more involved in the lives of their children. thanks for joining us this is our t. international. ever since the u.s. filed 17 further charges against julian assange on thursday concerns have been mounting in the journalistic community the new indictments have been branded a declaration of war on journalists. and there one who cares about press freedom and the ability of journalists to publish classified government information in the public interest should wholeheartedly condemn the charges against julian the songs the most dangerous aspect of this indictment full freedom of the press is that it would criminalize the encouragement of leaks of newsworthy classified information criminalize the acceptance of such information and criminalize publication of it that's criminalizing journalism so it's 17 new counts what american

prosecutors are now stacking up against join a songe is probably enough to put a whole basketball team behind bars as songe and we keep leagues have repeatedly sought and obtained and disseminated information that the us classified due to serious risk dragging big fat skeletons out of government clauses once that was seen as top class journalism at its best those were the days remember the 971 pentagon papers release about the vietnam related ugly skeletons. you're talking about exposing years of government secrets is that legal what is it you think we do here for a living those who dog all of it out or made to the secret info public were praised that was nowhere near the kind of media treatment mr saunders received the

free process not responsible for the origins of any material that gets to us. unless of course we are responsible for it because we had something to do with how it was a lot illegally obtained if someone's life was potentially at risk responsible media would not publish yes these are conversation hard conversations that are had in newsrooms around the country and the world at the end of the day what would you say to those people who do claim that no. his activities to follow more john made the good you're not allowed to help instruct you're not allowed to try to help somebody defeat security system even the most russian gating media people out there who would have all but destroyed weiqi leagues for getting the d.n.c. e-mails out are now feeling something's wrong with this new indictment this is to put it bluntly wrong unconstitutional and downright tyrannical is

a pretty aggressive new move by the justice department the big deal here for a 1st amendment advocates the government is now trying to assert this brand new right to criminally prosecute people for publishing secret stuff and newspapers and magazines and investigative journalists and all sorts of different entities publish secret stuff all the time that is the bread and butter of what we do however for all these years while julian and songs have to hide in london's ecuadoran embassy and we all know why these folks pretty much kept on his fate dissolve the there were plenty of other real threats to american journalism i.e. the cornerstone of democracy like the president calling them bad things or cnn's jim acosta getting his white house pass revoked for causing trouble at a press conference this is a journalist who has spent his career doing what i think the great journalists do which is holding power to account i do think they're trying to to shut us down to

some extent the reality is that this is could possibly be the new normal and that's what people are for that's not ok that's why the lawsuit is actually happening i think they're trying to send a message to our colleagues well if now finally the week at least founders fate was able to squeeze out a few 1st amendment tears on american news now it's probably too late anyway it's been a divisive figure we saw reaction to the latest twist in the story from a puddle of guests. we're talking a lot about 1st amendment issues and 1st amendment rights and it is very important to look at that i mean we're looking at social media mass banning censorship of certain political party outputs certain media commentators the 1st amendment has come up a lot not just with twitter banning but with banning of other people and a lot of the people that are being banned are journalists are either freelance journalists or members of the media and some way the prosecution of you in the sun

is part and parcel of trump's war on the free press full stop and i think they'll be limited takers for that actually both if i see the u.s. and hear all of the 1st amendment the reserve to be a news gathering and clearly where julian the psalms gross united states of america assuming it goes that there would be a court case to the supreme court related to that but if you look at where bradley manning released all they see information he was ultimately paul to and by brock obama not because there's there's a procession here but what cannot be allowed to happen. a group of people in the military in the intelligence services. break the espionage laws i think it's a basic mark of respect to chelsea manning to get her name right and and give her due respect on that score in addition she was never pardons by the bomb the administration i wish she had been her sentence was commuted which means that her conviction her conviction stands which is something that she is still being

appealed and i believe will go all the way up to the supreme court this could seem like a case where there could be some issues that he has to face and that he has to own up to but there also is the the facts that have come out that they haven't seen a lot of people who were who were either killed or damaged in the light of duty because of this so there have to look at actual damages and harm that this cause in the very extensive surveys the u.s. government did after the manning disclosures they could not find a single person who had been harmed by this disclosure is the truth the matzah was he has been afraid. making his case to a group of juries i'm courts that actually properly constituted judge un i'm serious i think he needs to go to america and he needs to make his case in front of the american courts which may or they may not accept that he's a journalist but what you can't do is what he did when he ridiculed the united kingdom by hiding in the ecuadorian embassy i think it's going to be a fight but i think i think he can win it because what has happened with this

superseding indictment it makes the issues absolutely crystal clear i think this is going to be a much bigger case than people imagine look at the end of the day i could scream and cry and insult others and just and just sit there and sob in paying my feet like a baby in call conspiracy theory when i don't like something but there are facts there are laws and all of that is going to be assessed very soon. crowds of yellow versus protesters of once again descended on paris the 28th consecutive weekend of demonstrations i thank you. thank you i. was. i was. i. think if. people gathered in the city center for the protest

wearing their symbolic yellow firsts and chanting and waving flags there's been a strong police presence on the streets and a number of scuffles broke out with the demonstrators as was used tear gas after being pelted with rocks and smoke grenades we can demonstrations began back in november with people protesting against rising petrol prices since then the demonstrations have expanded against the government's economic policies. as part of a new effort to deter iran the u.s. secretary of state has confirmed the approval of $8000000000.00 of arms sales to saudi arabia the u.a.e. and jordan. these sales will support our allies and hands middle east stability and help these nations to deter and defend themselves from the islamic republic of iran in order to bypass congress and expedite the shipments an emergency was declared

the arms will include a patriot missile but talian intelligence assets and combat and reconnaissance aircraft move comes out on the heels of president trump's announcement on friday there's additional u.s. troops will be sent to the middle east to maintain the situation that only the day before though he was singing a different tune. and humans are sending troops to the middle east to go to iraq you know 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 some very talented people are going to the middle east right now and we'll see how it works see what happens. it'll be about 1500 people live in the week numerous senators expressed frustration about the current administration's rhetoric are you worried very much but intentionally or unintentionally we create a situation in which a war will take place a war that will go on and on and on and that's been our worry from the beginning

that this is blind escalation with the hope of good theory millions 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 resolve in deescalating not escalate. the iranian foreign minister reacted to the planned increase in u.s. troops saying that it poses a threat to international peace well a senior iranian military official has been more blunt saying iran would sink u.s. warships using quote secret weapons if they do anything. political commentator they believe that washington should take time to see the situation from iran's perspective the u.s. is unfortunately going down a path of confrontation the trumpet ministration on the surface it has constantly repeated that it wants to negotiate with iran and trying saying that it wants to talk with the iranian leaders however in reality what we have been witnessing is that in the past 2 years the u.s. administration is taking

a very hostile act towards you want i mean for example the recent announcement of sending troops and the sending of a u.s. aircraft carrier towards iran if you look at it from the ukrainian perspective are seen very as as a very hostile act for example if we reverse this situation how would americans feel if iran started to send a tack ships near the coast of florida and started to position so-called critiqued of troops in mexico i don't think they would like that and we have the same situation in iraq. t.v. streaming service netflix is under fire for hosting content accused of romanticizing suicide the us parents television council has written to the platform demanding that justified hosting the series 13 reasons why about a teenager who kills herself amid reports the show is encouraging people to take their own life. settling because in the past tell you the story of my life.

my specifically why my life ended. and if you're listening to this tape you're one of the reasons why. the council argues that the show should be axed in the interests of children's mental health and safety earlier activists started a petition also calling for it to be pulled however a 3rd season is poised for release the council points out that the 1st season reportedly helped the driver 26 percent increase in google searches for how to kill yourself according to the u.s. national institute of mental health since the show's release the teen suicide rate has spiked even more netflix says it's examining the research and will address the issue we discuss the show's potential for harm with rivera editorial director for reactionary times dot com mark rather 3rd a license psychotherapist. can a show inspire someone to commit suicide well yes and no maybe it would maybe

it does but these are children that are probably obviously suffering. with a lot you know obviously they're very they're dealing with some personal issues in their life god knows if there's abuse you know sexual abuse bullying other kinds of issues you know and people are tying it to the program the problem is that they did kind of you know glamorized it they were kind of romanticized this idea behind it so even though the message was you know there is always help. it will get better turn to those who you who you love the peace behind this kind of you know kids when they see these kind of things they don't have the frontal lobe isn't developed into their executive function and they can't understand this idea of the gets better what it is that in that moment is what they feel it will always be and so i think there were there were a lot of kids that kind of ramped on to the to the energy of that you know i also we have to give the responsibility on this put the onus on the parents i think

parents have to be more involved in the lives of their children they need to communicate more i think that kids are growing up nowadays with a completely different set of pressures you know the suicide rate did go up after the show that piece of the damage was done because this kind of glamorous product was put out there they're there the parents are there in the show the guidance counselors are there in the show and no one's talking and which is the way it is in the real world when i see teenagers in my practice it takes 23 sometimes 456 sessions for them to really open up and tell me anything these are all things didn't have to be monitored better by parents any decisions that they make you know for netflix to take this show down will be their own internal decision and it will be driven. by the market quite frankly i mean if people start boycotting netflix because they have this show on then at that point it will become a financial decision in then. we were moving for that week and i see a lot of teenagers in my practice and in the in the couple of weeks after that show

dropped on netflix it was all every teenager that sat on my couch talked about and you know some of some of the teenagers hated it and some of them loved it but what it did is that it sparked discussion and it wasn't about you know the guidance counselors or teachers telling them about what you know what they should think or what they should feel the teenagers were talking with each other and they were kind of talking i call it teen speak they were talking to each other at teenagers to teenagers about a subject matter that you know oftentimes is just kind of swept under the rug so in my opinion that was the biggest value of that show it generated a discussion yes it's a slippery slope it could go either way but i think we have to also put faith in our teenagers you know they're wanting to understand this as much as we as adults are. elliston says it won't trade freedom for money have to billions of dollars were offered by washington in exchange for political concessions more months after a short break.

there is a cyclical nature to things there's t. globalization there's globalization there's lowering interest rates there's rising interest rates so when the interest rates rise that the impact it is said will be instantaneous death. that you will see that happen to you it was most feet with a moment stallworth for all the previous government. the former president and c.e.o. for which to 40 years the country people wanted much more and they didn't want just . travel freely with europe they won't this route to become part of. this is very far way to go still you mean you're right.

welcome back palestinian officials have branded washington's draft peace plan with israel a bribe adding that it's an acceptable to trade national freedom the money donald trump and his son in law gerry cushion of though the deal of the century differs billions in investment in exchange for political concessions and we looked at the palestinians we said well what are the opportunities i think what's been holding them back economically i think we built a very good business plan. under the deal there would be heavy investment of ballast time which in return would have to relinquish claim to the occupied territories and jerusalem under state called new palestine would be established within the borders of the west bank and the gaza strip that would be forbidden from

having an army pull a slayer explains. american president donald trump might think he's dangling a carrot by offering palestinian businessmen tens of billions of dollars if they sign up to his much touted peace plan which is still shrouded in secrecy but if the porty office palestinians sovereignty although not a full state and it allows israel to annex the large settlement blocks but here in ramallah the message is a resoundingly no thank you i am in front of the headquarters of one of the largest companies in information technology in palestine after receiving an invitation from place didn't try to attend the conference next month in the rain to discuss things its chairman says he was quite frankly insulted i should be away for so braced. for this as they called it that is for developing the palestinian economy from my personal perspective i see it's not a successful conference i see it it's actually. for the palestinian community and

for the palestinian businesspeople because it came out of school like a sudden one it was a big surprise for us it was because situation is the us administration unfortunately that it's the suit that they did in the last 2 years was all of that . the world is standing beside israel and putting conditions and weeping this is the meeting and the rain is supposed to show palestinian business leaders the benefits fell weak and of the so-called american deal of the century that without being consulted as to what exactly the details of that deal entailed the official word from the palestinian leadership is we do not trade our national rights for money business leaders to say they will not people with cash but if you need. everybody knows the scene economy's in a bad situation actually the world bank and they may have seeing that we are almost

in recession. of course helping debility new economy is important but this is not the way if you want to look for what the but it's an economy suffering from number one is the nation so they were speaking about issues of billions and in the same time the ignoring the reasons why they were seen for me is suffering with a bit of seniors where's the problem if they are not speaking to us and they will speak alone i don't know how they're going to implement that plan if they want to enforce the plan they care in the us is a strong country they can enforce a plan but this plan will not succeed it's taken trump more than 2 years to reach this point his son in law jared questioner who was tasked with working out the details has been meeting with arab countries to bring them on board but for trump for whom the art of the deal is everything he's about to learn that at least here buying his way to a deal seemingly does not work paula r.t.

the. u.s. senate armed services committee has agreed to 2020 defense spending bill increased levels that have not been seen since the iraq war if passed by congress the money will go to countering the perceived threat posed by geo political rivals. we aligned the budget and the resources of each service with our strategic priorities addressing great power competition regaining our combat advantage in making the pentagon run more effectively and efficiently. if past defense spending next year would rise to $750000000000.00 it would be the 2nd big hike in 2 years 10000000000 is earmarked for 16 new fighter jets the budget plan for seize a ban on jet exports to turkey over interest decision to buy arms from russia and their plans to launch a new branch of the armed forces a space force reminiscence of cold war plans for a star wars program and the us military would be getting its latest super size cash

injection at a time when it already massively outspends the rest of the world in 2018 washington spent this much on its military exceeding what the next 7 countries combined paid and to war activists david swanson believes that the money would be better redirected to other parts of the american economy. oh i think the the overwhelming justification is that letting your putin is going to get us in our sleep but beyond that you see it really gets pretty ludicrous when ever the pentagon is actually asked for a justification of oftentimes they just cannot come up with one of 4 for the for the best fulfill the budget not just the increase what the money has to come out of the military. and go into useful things that people don't don't talk about this and on top of which is when you ask how could you spend all this money on a green new deal or how can you spend all this money on health care these are

things that actually save money they don't cost money the cost in the long run of switching to clean energy of switching to sustainable energy is in the negative trillions of dollars it saves money in the long run. will try to force assistance like siri and alexa being called out for sexism by unesco united nations educational bodies claiming the digital help us promote gender stereotypes . this observing and so digital voice assistance becomes especially concerning when these machines on top and more far as this female basic knowledge accompanies good deflecting like last year or apologetic responses to verbal sexual harassment.
