or else i just think i was going to go. by the way what is it that's like here. wiki leaks co-founder join the songs of islam to a 17 charges of espionage by u.s. prosecutors for publishing classified military documents and diplomatic cables back in 2010. and emotional theresa may called of the day as britain's prime minister and then says she's stepping down as well in party leader on june 7th. i do so with no ill will but with enormous during gratitude to attach the opportunity to serve the country. and you have this attack syrian army positions in it live province using tanks as well as vehicles filled with explosives and western governments blame damascus for the escalation.

welcome to the weekly here on r t international where we bring you the top stories from the past week. wiki leaks founder julian assange faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing classified files u.s. prosecutors this week 17 new charges against him all of which fall under the espionage act they come on top of a charge of conspiring to hack a u.s. government computer which forms the basis of an extradition request for a song is currently serving time in the u.k. the court takes a closer look at what it all means for the whistleblower. the stakes are now much higher for imprisoned wiki leaks founder julian assange on 17 new charges by a notoriously anti whistleblower court and potentially up to 175 years in prison this new batch of accusations falls under the espionage act used to convict spies

and detractors during the 1st world war the indictments legal ease of taining and disclosure of sensitive government information which often just means exposing government wrongdoings is lighting a fire under stablish when american journalists since after all they're doing it to this is to put it bluntly wrong unconstitutional and downright tyrannical this is a pretty aggressive new move by the justice department a 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 with the new indictment of a song the government is advancing a legal argument that places such an important work in jeopardy the administration has gone from denigrating journalists as enemies of the people to now criminalizing

common practices in journalism notice anything not a lot about a songes work or fate but quite a bit about there's this is the hypocrisy of the mainstream media here in the united states just a couple of weeks ago the washington post editorial board ran an editorial saying that julian was not a journalist well guess what the washington post one pulitzer prizes you'll using the information that julian and we keep leaks published so you would think that in a normal world the washington post the new york times the wall street journal the guardian and every other major news outlet would be lining up 100 julian to support him they're not the thing is though some might argue the war on freedom of speech began long ago back in 2012. a son's fled to the ecuadorian embassy in london for political asylum over fears of extradition to the u.s. after exposing potentially incriminating acts by the u.s. military for 7 years he was interned there and conditions the u.n.

said amounted to arbitrary detention at times he was denied access to the internet stifling his journalistic work and all the while an allegation of rape in sweden has hung over his head his lawyers claim the alleged victim said it was actually the police who sought charges not her the establishment media has had plenty of things to say back then and not much had to do with the 1st amendment the free press is 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 leak illegally obtained if someone's life was potentially a risk responsible media you would know a publisher 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 do claim that look he's his activities to follow mold john

made the good you're not allowed to help instruct you're not allowed to try to help somebody defeat security system they prefer to accuse the sonnes of working with the russians and of course to claim at the end he neglected his personal hygiene and like playing with his fecal matter for years they've been ignoring restrictions on the songes freedom of speech and smearing him for the sake of the narrative but the monster they created has now turned against them when the mainstream media is absolutely hypocritical you know they spent these last several years criticizing critiquing damning. stones for constantly continuously all of a sudden now they've woken up and pretended to be so upset about the 17 charges of espionage they do feel threat. no it has nothing to do with freedom of press freedom of speech they feel threatened because they do the same thing to the soldiers every day of the week it's called national security reporting and so no i'm getting closer to home and there are tend to be more concerned about it is

a reminder of some of the biggest revelations made by us and 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 the indiscriminate shooting of civilians in iraq a year later the so-called get more files revealed routine torture of the guantanamo bay camp and the deaths 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. theresa may has announced she is stepping down as u.k. prime minister and an emotional speech outside number 10 may express regret for failing to deliver bricks that despite her best efforts chill resign as party leader on june 7th throwing up in the race for a successor. it's now clear to me that is it it is in the best interests of the country for

a new prime minister to lead that effort i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. i don't know how to be chosen by r.c. to become. a strong new positive vision for the future of our country let's it means brics it will be no 2nd referendum no tension in the back we can risk no brics it is all we can shoot. for or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated it is now clear to me that is it it is in the best interests of the country for

a new prime minister to lead that effort theresa may made a cornerstone of her premiership but delivering on the results of the referendum proved an impossible task her deal was roundly rejected in huge defeat 3 times with m.p.'s on both sides of the house becoming increasingly irate mark almond director of britain's crisis research institute oxford believes the country faces uncertainty and chaos. 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 briggs's 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 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 computershare to 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 it were bugs that goes next is hard to tell what becomes of the official conservative stance depends on who succeeds may labor the main opposition party except the referendum result it wants a deal but not may you can't and the party are both advocating a so-called hard drugs that were britain also quit the e.u. single market the liberal democrats the green party and change u.k. all want to reverse that and the 2nd referendum. islamic state may have been all but routed out from syria but jihad is are still wreaking havoc in the country on wednesday government troops repelled 3 large scale

attacks by militants in the province the latest incarnation of what was the on the store front has attacked army positions with hundreds of militants supported by tanks and vehicles filled with explosives. meanwhile the u.s. state department claims it suspects the syrian regime of using chemical weapons during its current offensive when 1st reporting on the alleged attack on tuesday the u.s. said it had seen some signs it might have happened however they did not provide any further details that came soon after jihad ascript hiatt. formerly known as the al qaeda affiliate illness or front claim that the syrian army had targeted its members with chlorine gas it's not the 1st time president assad's government is

being accused of staging chemical attacks on its own people last year a toxic attack in the city of duma just 10 kilometers from the capital was immediately blamed on damascus the incident prompted the u.s. britain and france to launch air strikes against syrian government facilities but a leaked document by a group of researchers raise questions about the global chemical weapons watchdogs report on who's to blame the request of the o.p.c. w.'s comment on the report but received no answer because dollars has more. we saw petrified children. we listened to the righteous indignation very terrible regime we read a scrupulous investigation into what happened by the un chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. report was meant to pose an indisputable and to speculations over what happened in duma in syria in spring 2018 except that it really.

the 60 newly revealed pages challenge of the bag bone of the official conclusions. after passing through the ceiling in impacting the floor of the lower speed the cylinder continued in altered trajectory until reaching the position in which it was found. observations of the scene of the 2 locations suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were money placed at those $2.00 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft the engineering teams account is well structured it includes pictures from the side of the incident blueprints and images of the test cases studied to deliver their verdict it's unlikely the project tile fell from above which would in that case mean one thing the assad controlled air

force had nothing to do with it and while the sky was dominated by the governments of the ground at that time was in control of the insurgents so the question is now who else could have placed the cylinder on that bed now the revelation at the o p c w concerned except not the substance of it but the fact that someone in their ranks when grow and exposed something they tried to bury as. deep and far away from the public eye as possible the bottom line and it is the documents has been passed to us as i said before we've had we have confirmation from multiple sources which clearly shows that there has been an investigation carried out from within you. an investigation which is not found its way to move leak into the fire do not report and use your investigation into your p c w and how it has been operating

because it is the case that is organization has been subjected to political pressure and that have led to distortion their investigations and that is an incredibly serious matter. but this engineering analysis is not the 1st blow to the official version of what happened in duma now this video purported to show the harrowing aftermath of the chemical attack resonated across the airwaves and was hyped by many channels horrific images of syrian children fighting for brownfield and suffocating in their homes editor emergency shelter many with foam in their mouths disturbing reports of a chemical weapons attack chemical attack carried out by the acid regime except later people in the video said they had no recollection of a chemical attack some people barged into the hospital hosed people with water

instigated panic and vanished even a producer with the b.b.c. a broadcaster that gave major airtime to the clip said he believed the hospital video was staged. after almost 6 months of investigations i can prove without a doubt that the duma hospital scene was staged no fatalities occurred in the hospital. in 20 teen the allowed us to voices on the world stage were quick to deliver their verdict and punishment these are not the actions of a man. they are crimes of a monster instead the nations of britain france and the united states of america have martial their righteous power against barbarism and brutality. but with this new information it's not that obvious anymore and although it speak

the interest of the politically engaged classes in lots of the new evidence from on o.p.c. w. engineers report i hope the guardian newspaper will have the good grace to print an unreserved apology for their scurrilous ad hominem attack on me after i denounce the white house potently can cook 2 story for what it was when they have just discovered a major piece of the puzzle explain how similarly independent international organizations how deceive us into consent into war and regime change interventionism around the world there's a deafening silence from the great and good the final day of e.u. wide parliamentary elections is under way a look at that story and more after the short break.

the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back hundreds of european companies have been flooding the market for years with items containing potentially harmful chemicals that's according to germany's largest environmental charity it released a study warning that consumers across the block could unwittingly be harming their health by using any of hundreds of popular everyday products now the most dangerous item singled out however fall under the category of industrial substances which can cause genetic defects and cancer more commonly use products noted in the study include furniture toys and clothes which its claims can put unborn children at risk while certain cosmetic and personal products are said to cost serious eye or taishan and business $654.00 companies were named as culpable most of them german

british or dutch big names like exxon mobil and bear on the list show a difference he picks up the story. when it comes to using hazardous chemicals at home we're told to wear gloves and to rinse immediately if your skin comes into contact with the product but according to a new report by environmental lobby group and european consumers face exposure on day basis and we don't even know about it as consumers we are kept in the dark not knowing if every day products are safe or not range from clothes shoes and makeup even children's toys borne says these potentially harmful chemicals a widely being sold to manufacturers of household goods without having being properly vetted it says some of these chemicals could cause a range of health problems from cancer to bring disorders worse still when your

pink chemical agency we see a.j. is accused of trying to sweep this scandal under the rug. has said in this problem for years we see the agency moving in the right direction by why all the secrecy the very foundation of e.u. chemical safety rules are being ignored bund revealed the top of the iceberg now it's on the to tell us the rest of this investigation shows around $650.00 companies and many household brands of breaking the law by failing to perform the required safety checks that are mandated by the e.c. ha's main safety regulation this includes some brands which are already making the headlines amidst major health scandals. have done and i'm a lot of work but that work i clearly and totally subscribe to is not sufficient and not enough. but we have looked at $700.00 substances up until now of those

$702.00 thirds end up needing further data bund says that. it's not enough i missed the morning that the e.u. and national authorities raise their game in a bid to ensure the products we use are simply just safe to eat show that people stay off see. we asked a number of the companies accused of wrongdoing to comment on the claims only c f i c and one call responded saying that while they comply with all 50 regulations they're committed to improving where possible you're going meyer who has a green non-governmental organization told us he believes the study only scratches the surface of the problem. i think there is a big possibility that behalf now can you close on the market who has not sufficiently been checked we house nokia information which chemicals we have no clear information which ones have been sufficiently checked the only thing that we

can know it's safe for sure is that the system doesn't work properly we have to can because. apparently not sufficiently controlled and that is a potentially a big danger so all the information because it was. basically sureness deficit's it's far from complete. and this is playing with the lives of people. and independent journalist association and in the asia has condemned police violence that's after 6 people were killed and hundreds injured including journalists in protests over the presidential election result which spilled over into writing in the country's capital. take i was i think
