a very warm welcome to you you're watching our cincinnati. british intelligence agency m i 5 comes under fire after it was revealed that play all to store sensitive data in a secure way. survivors of london's grand felt our fire begin legal action against u.s. companies whose materials they say contributed to the tragedy and the u.s. support of the quest the extradition of wiki leaks co-founder cuteness are enjoying numerous spying related charges. i feel. very good morning just on ita clock here in moscow you're watching r.t.

international now the british internal security service m i 5 is under fire after it was revealed at a court trial that the agency has illegally and unsafely stored people's data civil rights group liberty which brought the case has slammed my 5 saying it's kept its fate is a secret for years m i 5 have been holding on to people's data ordinary people's data your data my data illegally for many years not only that they've been trying to keep their really serious errors secret secret from the security services watchdog who's supposed to know about them secret from the film office secret from the prime minister and secrets from the public. well during the trial it became clear that senior members of m i 5 were aware of data management failures 3 years ago the failures were defined by the investigatory powers commissioner who provided key documents liberty you see king to challenge parts of the u.k.'s 2016

investigatory powers act or react allows the security agency to apply for warrants to proceed with the collection of data on ordinary people as well as use targeted interceptions of communications and hack computers but it prohibits the retention of in essential information and requires any data that is kept to be stored safely artist reports. but there might not be a plaque on the door but even google maps will tell you that that building over there is m i 5 britain's domestic intelligence agency and even though its job is to root out the bad guys the agency itself has been accused of extraordinary and persistent illegality in a high court case civil rights group liberty brought the legal challenge against m i 5 to the high court. the case against m i 5 now relates back to

a law that was passed in the u.k. in 2016 the investigatory powers act back then the new legislation was sold as something that would create transparency in the wake of the snowden scandal which had revealed that the u.s. and its allies including the u.k. had been collecting vast troops of public data but the investigatory powers act quickly became dubbed the snoopers charter privacy campaigners claim it simply legalized the practices that snowden had exposed and introduced intrusive new powers. there is however a government watchdog that's meant to oversee the u.k.'s sweeping surveillance laws and according to documents revealed in court that watchdog the u.k.'s investigative powers commissioner has delivered a highly critical assessment of m i 5 in particular over m i 5 storage of

hacked public data in one letter presented in court m i 5 had knowledge that personal data collected by m i 5 was being stored in ungoverned spaces there is a high likelihood of material being discovered when it should have been deleted in a disclosure exercise leading to substantial legal or oversight failure back in may britain's home secretary sajid javid revealed that compliance risks had been identified with how and why 5 handled data reports of the investigatory powers commissioner's office into these risks concluded that they were serious and required immediate mitigation the commission also expressed concern that m i 5 should have reported the compliance risks to him sooner the court case which is ongoing also revealed that the government watchdog would be subjecting m i 5 to far

greater scrutiny from now. now on comparing it to a school being placed on special measures which is the government's equivalent of the naughty step party boyko there with the u.k. home secretary says that security services now take an immediate and substantial steps to comply with the law we heard from the social media lawyer and he believes no heads will roll over at m i 5 over the famous. it is very clear to me fire is not complying with the law some of the information was was highly highly sensitive information if this type of data is been kept in a secure manner it means that it was open for 4 perhaps hundreds of people to view it and then there was a highly likely date that would have been leaked to the public maybe to the newspaper maybe there would have been even. leaked leaks of of the data

to do all sorts of organizations or to really be. for national security reasons only question is whether there are going to be any sanctions imposed on the individuals. and i think the answer is probably not. and i merely $250.00 survivors and relatives of the victims of the grenfell tower tragedy in london assuming 3 u.s. firms that made materials used the residential complex they claim the building materials facilitate the spread of the devastating fire in 2017 some of the materials are banned from use on u.s. skyscrapers prompting accusations of double standards according to the lawsuit this sends a message that foreign lives are worth less than american lives while the last names are conic whose exterior cladding was highly flammable and helped spread the flames

quickly also named is whirlpool the maker of the refrigerator that's believed to have caused the fire and insulation made by sell it x. is said to have released cyanide gas leading to. well all 3 companies did express their sympathy with the victims will pull also noted that to separate probes fail to find fault with its refrigerator cell attack

said it was said it's insulation is just one element of the cladding system used on the tower and our konica said it will respond in court well we spoke to peter herbert he's co-founder of b.m. the lawyers for grand file he says that multinationals who are found guilty of negligence will likely be punished. the united states does have a very little good a friendly culture whereby if a multinational national company hires guilty often selling negative product or a rich trail product without sufficient safeguards then they will carry those previously been cases in the united states where a building collapse has resulted in damages of around about $230000000000.00 being distributed to the victims residence and the tragedy i believe there's a 2 year limitation period at the united states that action must be commenced but

for 2 years expires otherwise the limitation act would rule any action outside of their limited jurisdiction of the u.s. so it is a necessity to safeguard their legal position and at the end of the day the question is are the individuals that grants loans stop that so much going to go to the to real benefit for those of their families who have been briefed and people who are after the break with us and therefore if that is right then that must be partly just settlement. now u.s. prosecutors have made a formal request to the extradition of wiki leaks co-founder gina sanj that's according to media reports citing officials from both countries the u.s. has indicted him on 17 counts of spying and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer an extradition hearing will be held on friday and sunday serving a 15 week term in the u.k. is high security belmarsh prison for jumping bail in 2012 in april he was forcibly

removed by british police from the ecuadorian embassy in london after ended his 7 year asylum if convicted in the u.s. he could be sentenced to up to 175 years wiki leaks editor in chief says there are signs you will not get a fair trial meanwhile a sign his father says his son is currently recovering from dramatic weight loss last month june. songe was moved to a medical ward in prison and was too ill to appear in court 5 video link for hearing his father and also chinese artist ai we paid him a visit at belmarsh they buy thinks press concerns over his health and possible extradition. i definitely think that you're a pig. for the very different. standard of measurement you know you'll be dealing with such human rights issues on the freedom of speech so he should. never should be

a liar but you want extra territorial actions in the united states against somebody who's not a citizen. soldier you can slip through in. the prison for the reason i. have. the worst. march in songe white's his fate sorry his former protect to ecuador is refusing to extradite an alleged american fraudster to the us during president len marino has personally blocked proceedings citing national sovereignty reasons humanitarian concerns and also international law we asked we can lease activist clark stokely why the 2 cases being treated differently. don't point that it's very hypocritical is very showing of the morals and ethics of

these governments you know the message that wiki leaks has been publishing has been the truth showing that these you know major or. government organizations are committing fraud or committing war crimes and so forth. and you know then the messengers going to be the one that keeps going. you know walk away the fact lemaire is it's always with a whole new percent factual evidence. maybe people need to start reading the facts of the matter rather than those who preserve to us. now the russian investigative journalist even gallon of has been released from house arrest with all charges against him dropped he had been accused of illegal drug possession with intent to distribute in what he claimed was a trumped up case over his journalistic activity officials are now saying that the

evidence was read sam and and found to be invalid and of was met by cheering crowds of supporters and also his dog. right. i was much more it wasn't just that. you refuse i hope the investigation will continue and no one will find themselves in the same situation i happen to be in for a little. research i think small children for a 2nd think you know a new term to come to terms with what's happened since is to go if there was detained on thursday with police officers claiming they found drugs on him and that is flat he said the evidence had been planted in retaliation for his investigative journalism the officers suspected of framing him have been suspended russia's interior minister has started an investigation into the detention he's asked the

russian president vladimir putin to fire so you high ranking moscow police generals over the case of poland of arrest sparked a widespread public outcry in russia many journalists and other public figures rallied in support of him accusing the police of misconduct there were protests in front of russia's interior ministry 3 of russia's biggest newspapers ran the same from page with the headline we are in van gaal north. independent political analyst alice sandra bruno says the way the case is played out is a victory for russian civil society. it is definitely a victory for civil society but it's also a victory for clean government and happy to see that the people responsible to have been put under investigation and most importantly the civil society and media were able to express the opinions and support for going on not

really in the west in particular where a lot of. propaganda against russia is. presented and prepared. we are often told that the media in russia is very. controlled by the state and censored so i think this case is a perhaps not very good for going on off but it's a it's a it's a very important case in helping to show that perhaps the media in russia is much freer than we believe national to come this hour the new york times instructor at political cartoons after the publisher faced a severe backlash we'll have a look at that part of the story to tell you just after the break.

what politicians do sometimes. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to. get it right to be close it's like the full screen the more people. interested in the why the how. this 6.

0 again that the new york times has officially stopped publishing political cartoons the move comes just over a month after there was a strong backlash against a cartoon featuring a blind president donald trump led by the israeli prime minister in the form of a guide dog one of the paper's longtime contributors 1st revealed that the car things would be dropped if the new york times all and all political cartoons are just learned we saw 3 published a syndicated netanyahu 2 that caused a scandal for me this is the end of an adventure that begin 20 years ago. well besides announcing the newspaper's decision cartoonist patrick shit party complained about moralistic mobs influencing the news hearings in his post he

stressed that without humor we are all dead in new york times issued an apology soon after the offending cartoon was published or the disputed image of donald trump and then even yet in yahoo was the work of antonio where to nez back in may he hit back at over the controversy claiming the backlash was fabricated by quote jewish propaganda he also stressed that his art had a political not a religious meaning the decision of the new york times to abandon political cartoons has caused uproar on twitter the n.y.t. really did fail this time decision not to run political cartoons by n.y.t. opinion is spineless we need political humor now more than ever 4 years ago the new york times was all just see surely now they're no longer publishing cartoons new york times are not throughout to be with the bathwater yassar is a terrible lapse in judgment to print that cartoon so part dies and have

a keener i free readers 3 offensive cartoons john and art from completely political cartoonist and author ted rall believes that not being able to laugh at political leaders does create a serious problem for society. this is a pretty despicable series of events i mean 1st of all i don't think we need to throw on tonio the portuguese cartoonist under the bus there really is but it's highly debatable whether his cartoon was anti-semitic or not and i think portraying him as an anti-semite despite the fact that he repeatedly has denied it is really egregious and something that many of my colleagues probably should have spoken out against too much to months ago and now you have the new york times firing its own syndicate i mean the editors who ran the cartoons are still working at the new york times and the and now they're firing to cartoonist who had nothing to do with the cartoon in question so i mean i've never heard of

a political cartoonist getting fired over a cartoon that he did not draw so the new york times has literally declared nuclear war against my art form they've decided that all traditional editorial cartoons that depict a strong opinion about the events of the day will no longer appear there when we can't laugh at ourselves when we can't poke fun at our political leaders we've got a major problem on our hands politically. that almost a 1000 people have signed a petition demanding that they sleep criminal proceedings against the german kept in. the 35 year old skiff the events of rest in ship is the keys to the betting and the goal integration to she personally assisted in the rescue of more than a 1000 migrants at risk of drowning in unsafe dinghies as they attempted to cross the mediterranean sea to reach europe. as. this is

a case of peer clem a german boat captain and hero to some criminal to others she was at the helm of the e.u. vented boat you know was 2017 when it entered the port of lump it was it located on an island between malta and the coast of tunisia the rescue vessel was detained and appears a lawyer now says she may face up to 20 years in prison and horrendous fines but no matter what appears stance is unwavering we're going to do what women and children have to face if they are denied safe travel by ignoring the submarine boat security warships and expelling libyan militias people who shelter refugees from unsuitable overcrowded scraps and big them up sometimes too late italian investigators have accused her crew of colluding with smugglers with photos leaked to the media alleged in the bodes returning to libya's coast on purpose to be used again by

smugglers a date hasn't been set yet for with klemp has dubbed her show trial and many agree tens of thousands of people are back in her in a petition calling for italy to drop the charges this however falls under matteo salvini is cracked down the talent interior minister and deputy prime minister is known for his open and strong until migrant to stop rescue ships that are carrying migrants from docking on telling shores and allowing refugees to disembark it's what he's been after since his appointment last year and he has supporters too it's not as though the italians are to do with our probable cause there is much truth reporting that every year of investigation preceded the arrest including videos witness statements don't develop the picture mrs rescuing people from drowning is b.s. propaganda rescue them and take them to germany it is quite convenient to rescue people and leave them initially greece cetera we have enough migrants we do. wants

anymore she may believe the trafficking of people that's illegal she's responsible for the so-called refugee crisis there is a clear split within the e.u. over how to tackle the migrant crisis and while they seat undecided on whether to assist or hinder the flow of migrants into europe captain clem could be losing her battle at sea and entre. marie for nationality reporting from germany or the italian authorities say that their migrant policy is a success rice organizations continue to say that lives are being put at risk. pretty much. since the start of the year there have been around 2000 rivals by sea using small boats sailing boats rowing boats whatever they have to cross the material or that's compared to 14000 last year by guns have no say in how or when to leave the traffickers make that decision for them they couldn't care less if the people arrive dead or alive if we do not intervene soon it will be

a sea of blood the reason why old he says that that is because that he's no agreement to that european level for the resettlement of the asylum seekers and therefore each he could have become just the container of all asylum seekers waiting for a maybe resettlement in other european countries the 1st thing is to return that european level in this type blissfully of rules that apply to all member states so the country of 1st arrival we could say doesn't become old so and only the only one to receive these people so this this food creates a flow there should be a coordinated approach. but at the moment europe is not capable of device in any kind of solution. and that is the news tonight here in r.t. we're back again though with them more stories on the headlines in just the.

recent high level controversy surrounding you tube clearly demonstrate the online universe and freedom of speech are not on the same page the plot from says it wants to ban extremism it's probably fair to say most would agree on this the problem is how you to define. this constant. quantitative easing of 4 q.e. 4 is now well under way can't taper a ponzi scheme no economics matters only money printing and stock manipulation. why a paradise with all year round turned into

a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. are.

you. going to welcome to all the part of the detention of a prominent investigative journalist on drug smuggling charges has joined in the russian side so like your wrath how before with nonstop taken so fond of police headquarters and of solidarity from across the media industry what does the case often by. well say about what india russia and the ways of affecting change here to discuss that analogy and violence even in that editor in chief of the article from moscow radio station and said it's especially by this 3rd venediktov thank you very much for joining us michel that i see your station has always been quite critical about what's going on in russia such reporting on all sorts of improprieties and malpractises is every day routine for you but as far as i recall nano such cases

have every triggered so much mass public outcry as the recent arrest of yvonne gallen off why do you think his case received such a response or did you. think the reason you said and the goal now of my case affected so many people is because there is a slight detail here that not many people have noticed drugs are a serious problem in russia and it gets worse and worse and we all are all aware of this we all have children so when our colleague was detained for allegedly drug possession or or dealing drugs over this the 1st impression among journalists was that they were shot because journalists are well familiar with this problem so this is what they thought about them initially and later and became obvious that there were many holes in this case and we realised that maybe there is no actual war on

drugs it's a lot of maybe nobody's actually fighting drugs maybe people are using drugs for character assassination. or investigative journalists so the reason for this treaties that people are terrified will feel that this war on terror may be actually used. to squash dissent to go off the we'll talk about that in more detail later and what the public outcry is certainly very important i thought there is also such a thing in russia as this so. telephone justice and personal connections did you have to make some phone calls to try and help move on. yes that is late edition of on the go in. more when this whole thing happened i was singing. for all of. president putin who was giving he's on the

west and i was watching my news. and i've been calling it was put in couldn't go no go no go go no go no go no no we're just put in play now that's when aerialist little something was going on because i just stabbed a girl in the excess maybe more in use in social media than clinton which is extraordinary indeed it's. you know i have former you know concern burning me are you guinea roy's woman and working for me at the reuse lesion that it was and he was had a city with drugs foundation and when he is as tough on drug dealers as a man can be back in what way it was he started telling it what is it doesn't it on some type of you know. drugs he hates the drug dealers he always sides with beliefs about in this particular case he told me it doesn't add up and then i realized something's wrong again i think many people are like that which.
