nothing. in a mosque change of attitude u.s. mainstream media now warn of the dangerous precedent being set for journalists by washington's intensified pursuit of judean assumptions. president trump announces he's sending more troops to the middle east and speeding up alms to the region to keep iran in check. the netflix show 13 reasons why about a teen who kills himself sparks fresh outrage with critics saying it should be pulled from the platform over a month to find things suicide guests debate the issue. the problem is that they did kind of you know glamorized they were kind of romanticized this idea behind it you know we have to give the responsibility on this or to put the

onus on the parents i think parents have to be more and ball in the lives of their children. a very warm welcome you watching r.t. international with me making erin the top story this hour ever since the u.s. filed 17 further charges against julian a songs on thursday concerns have been mounting in the journalistic community the new indictments have been branded a declaration of war on journalists. and the 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 you in 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. i'm 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 live illegally obtained if someone's life was potentially a risk responsible media you would not publish yes these are conversations 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 claim that no. his activities far more damage than good you are not allowed to help instruct you are 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. emails 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 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 a song had to hide in london's ecuadorian embassy and we all know why these folks pretty much kept on his fate dissolved 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 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. wasn't has long been a divisive we saw a reaction to the latest twist in this story from a panel. 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 today in the sand 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 by sea the u.s. and here although 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 why bradley manning released all the c. information he was ultimately paul didn't by brock obama not because there's there's a process here 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 a part of 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 macho. he has been afraid of making his case to a group of juries i'm koch actually properly constituted judge you are i'm serious i think you need to go to america and he needs to make his case in front of the american court which may you although you 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 issue 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 and back being 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. france has seen the 28th consecutive weekend of nationwide yellow vests protests and an r t france journalist got caught up in the clashes with police while covering the demonstrations in toulouse. the video shows a police officer with a baton running at our correspondent the incident happened while the r.t. france team was filming the clashes standing on the pavement a safe distance despite his presence markings the officer hit our correspondent

right now and we'll see out and we'll see what happens. it'll be about 1500 people early in the week numerous senators expressed frustration about the current administration's rhetoric. are you worried you very much but intentionally or unintentionally we have and 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 wind escalation with the hope that the iranians will come to the table to me and the best thing to happen is for everybody to calm down in iran to back off and i'm hoping that this show of force will result in deescalating you know escalating the iranian foreign minister has reacted to the planned increase in u.s. troops saying it poses a threat to international peace want to see me and raney a military official has been more blunt saying iran would sink u.s.

warships using quote secret weapons if they do anything unwise political commentator harman must solve a believes washington should take time to see the situation from iran speak to. 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 us 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 the situation how would an american's feel if iran started to send attack ships near the coast of florida and started to

position so-called protective troops in mexico i don't think they would like that and we have the same situation in iraq. to the streaming service netflix is under fire for hosting content accused of romanticizing suicide the us parents television council has written to the platform demanding good justify hosting the series 13 reasons why which is about a teenager who kills herself amid reports reports the show is encouraging people to take that life. settling because i'm about to tell you the story of my life. more specifically why my life ended. and if you're listening to this tape you're one of the reasons why. well the council argues that the show should be axed in the interests of children's mental health and safety early activists started a petition also calling for it to be pulled however 3rd season is poised for release the council points out that the 1st season reportedly helps drive

a 26 percent increase in google searches for how to kill yourself and according to the us national institute of mental health since the show's release the teen suicide rate spiked even more on netflix days examining the research and will address the issue we discussed the show's potential for harm with julia rivera editorial director for revolutionary times dot com and mark rather 3rd and 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. a lot you know obviously they're very they're dealing with some personal issues in their life god knows if there is 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 it was 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 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 they've 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 there their 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 the end. we were moving for that one 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 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. palestine so they won't trade freedom for money after billions of dollars were offered by washington in exchange for political concessions one month after this break. historically to accuse opponents used to claim that there are 3 issues. too poor to bake and to refuse to muslim the fact that we are too poor is no longer correct because our per capita church is very deep is higher than some of the quran

do you member countries. you know world of big part of their life 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 on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

is not see international welcome back palestinian officials have branded washington's draft peace plan with israel a bribe adding that it's unacceptable to trade national freedom for money donald trump and his son in law jared krishna though call it the deal of the century it offers billions in investments to exchange for political concessions. when 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 this is part. of the deal there would be heavy investments in palestine which in turn would have to relinquish claim to jerusalem and parts of the occupied territories a state called new palestine would be established within the borders of the west bank and the gaza strip though it would be forbidden from having an army polis near reports. 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 port city offers 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 president trump to attend a conference next month in the rain to discuss things its chairman says he was quite frankly insulted. braced. for this because 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 fairly bad the u.s.

administration unfortunately that it's that they did their best to use was all of it. there was standing. and. conditions and meeting this is the meeting and the rain is supposed to show how this thing and business leaders the benefits they'll reach and the so-called american deal of the century but without being consulted as to what exactly the details of that deal entails the official word from the palestinian leadership is we do not trade on national rights for money business leaders here 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 developing economies he put in by to this is not the way if week if you want to look for what the but it's an economy suffering from

number one is the patient so they were speaking about issues of billions and in the same time the ignoring the reasons why they would see me 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 cush know 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 policy or r.t. . the us senate armed services committee has agreed to a 2020 defense spending bill increasing levels not seen since the iraq war if passed by congress the money will go to countering the perceived threat posed by

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 their mark for 16 new fighter jets the budget plan for seize a ban on jet exports to turkey over on course decision to buy arms from russia and there are plans to launch a new branch of the armed forces of space force reminiscent of cold war plans for star wars program the u.s. military would be getting its latest super size cash injection at a time when it already massively out spends the rest of the world in 2018 washington spent this much on its military exceeding what the next 7 countries

combined paid antiwar activist david swanson believes the money would be better redirected to other parts of the u.s. economy. i think the overwhelming justification is that vladimir putin is going to get us in our sleep but beyond that it's it really gets pretty ludicrous when ever the pentagon has actually asked for a justification of oftentimes they just cannot come up with one of 4 for the for the vast bulk of 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 way do 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
