because he's co-founder julian assange she slept with 17 charges of espionage by u.s. prosecutors for publishing classified military documents and diplomatic cables back in 2010. and emotional treason michael's the day is prince prime minister announces she's stepping down as ruling party leader on june 7th. i do so with no ill will but with enormous and during gratitude to have had the opportunity to country. and jihadist attack syrian army positions in italy province using tanks as well as vehicles filled with explosives and western governments blamed damascus for the

escalation. good evening you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international. wiki leaks co-founder julian assange faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing classified files u.s. prosecutors this week's 17 new charges against him all of which fall under the espionage act they come on top of the charge of conspiring to hack a u.s. government computer which forms the basis of an extradition request for a song he's currently serving time in the u.k. ortiz stone calls it takes a closer look at what all this 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 sauna 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 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 we'd 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. songe 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. now i have nothing to do with. the little threat because they did the same thing to the start of every day of the week called national security reporting there are no closer to home or tend to be more concerned about

it. or to remind you here are some of the biggest revelations made by sanjay over the years back in 2010 thousands of documents and classified video relating to the wars in iraq and afghanistan were made public leaked detailed among other things the indiscriminate shooting of civilians in iraq and year later the so-called get moved files revealed routine torture going to mowbray and the death of inmates through harsh treatment and in 26 the wiki leaks revealed a pro clinton media bias during the 2016 presidential campaign and the plot to push bernie sanders out of the race. reason why is announce that she's stepping down as u.k. prime minister in an emotional speech outside number 10 expressed regret for failing to deliver brags that despite her best efforts she will resign is party leader on june 7th throwing open 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 on earth and. to be chosen by our sea to become. a strong new positive vision for the future of our country let's it means breck's it will be no 2nd referendum no attempt to turn the clock back we can risk no breaks it is all we can. i. 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. treason may may briggs's a cornerstone of her premiership but delivering on the results of the referendum proved an impossible task the deal was roundly rejected in huge defeat 3 times with m.p.'s on both sides of the house becoming increasingly irate mark almond direct to britain's crisis research institute in 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 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 computer shifted from both sides the remaining members of the will to newnan may decide we find you too much trouble we want you to leave now and so that could be a chaotic disorderly bridget. briggs it goes next hard to tell what becomes of the official conservative stance depends on who succeeds may labor the main opposition party accepts the referendum results it wants a deal but not mates ukip and the exit party are both advocating a so-called hard drugs it where britain quits the e.u. single market liberal democrats the green party and change you k. they'll want to reverse briggs it and have a 2nd referendum. dummy states may have been all but round 6 from syria but just how does the still wreaking havoc in the

country on wednesday government troops repelled 3 large scale attacks by militants in italy province the latest incarnation of what was the front as attack tell me positions with hundreds of militants supported by tanks and vehicles filled with explosives. while the u.s. state department claims it suspects the syrian regime of using chemical weapons during its current offensive. 1st reporting on the alleged attack on choose day the us said that it had seen some signs that it might have happened but they did not provide any further details about the incident and came soon after they had this group ariel sharon formerly known as the al qaeda affiliate on this for

a front line that the syrian army had targeted its members with chlorine gas. so 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 the mascot's incident brought to the u.s. britain and france the low just strikes against syrian government facilities but the leaked documents by a group of researches raised questions about the global chemical weapons what's those reports on the blood requested the o.p.c. w.'s comment on the report but received no answer just on of explains. we saw petrified children. i listened to the righteous indignation very terrible regime we read a scrupulous investigation into what happened by the un chemical weapons watchdog the your p c w report was meant to pose an indisputable and to speculations over

what happened in duma in syria in spring 2018 except did it really. the 16 newly revealed pages challenge of the bag bone of the official conclusions. after passing through the ceiling in impacting the floor at 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 suggests 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 as 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 government 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 in this is that the documents have been passed to us as i said before we've had we have confirmation from multiple sources which clearly shows that there has been investigation carried out and when you

don't do you an investigation which is not found oh absolutely into the fire do not report and use your proper investigation into your p.c. go to you and how it has been operating because it is the case that this 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 a.o. . dave's and was hyped by many channels 100 think images of syrian children grandchildren suffocating in their homes and or emergency shelter many with foam in their mouth 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 time 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 crying 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 light of the new evidence from an old 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 concocted story for what it was when they have just discovered a major piece of the puzzle explain how similarly independent international organizations help deceive us into consent into wars and regime change interventionism around the world there's a deafening silence from the great and good. the final day of the e.u. wide parliamentary elections is underway we'll take a look at that after this short break.

historically to accuse opponents use to claim that there are 3 issues. is too big and too if you still muslim the fact that we are too poor is no longer correct because our per capita purchase very is higher than some of the current

deal member countries. hundreds of european companies have been flooding the u. market for years with items containing potentially harmful chemicals that's according to germany's largest environmental charity they released the study warning that consumers right across the block could be harming their health by using any of hundreds of popular everyday products the most dangerous item singled out however fall under the category of industrial substances which can cause genetic defects and cancer more commonly used products noted in the studying furniture toys and clothes which is claimed can put unborn children at risk or

certain cosmetic and personal products said to cause serious. dizziness. 654 companies were named as culpable most of them were german british or dutch big names like exxon mobil and by were on the list. 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 food and european consumers face exposure on a daily basis and we don't even know about it as consumers we are kept in the dark not knowing if everyday products are safe or not range from clothes shoes and makeup even children's toys borne says these potentially harmful chemicals are 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 the european 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 cheek to tell us the rest of this investigation shows around $650.00 companies many households 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 and up needing further data says that's not enough and is demanding that the e.u. and national authorities raise their game in a bid to ensure the products we use are simply just safe. show that even the ati cards. r.t.s. the number of the companies accused of wrongdoing to comment on the claims on the septic untangle responded saying that while they comply with all safety regulations they are committed to improving where possible your grandma who heads a green non-governmental organization told us he believes to study only scratches the surface of the problem. i think there is a big possibility that behalf no chemicals are on the market who have not

sufficiently given we house no clear information which chemicals we have no clear information which ones have been sufficiently checked the only thing that we can know for sure is that the system doesn't work properly we have chemical who are apparently not sufficiently control and that is a potentially a big danger so all the information recalled was. basically sureness dishes it's fast and complete. and this is playing with the lives of people. and independent journalists association in indonesia has condemned police violence have to 6 people were killed and hundreds injured including journalists in protests over the presidential election result which spilled over into rioting in the country's capital jakarta. i think
