i was i was. british intelligence agency and i 5 comes under fire after it was revealed it failed to store sensitive data in a secure way. also to come survivors of london's grand fell tower 5 begin legal action against us companies use materials they say contributed to the tragedy and the un report requests the extradition of wiki leaks co-founder genius are in japan universe spying related charges.

hello there she's gone 9 in the morning here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now the british internal security service m i 5 is under fire for illegally holding on to personal information collected during mass data trolls the situation came to light during a case brought by civil rights group liberty 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 was it did emerge that m i 5 was already aware of the failures 3 years ago . picks up the story. well 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 cracked public data in one letter presented in court m i 5 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 fide handled data the report of the investigatory

powers commissioner's office into these risks concluded that they were serious and required immediate mitigation the commissioner 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 on comparing it to a school being placed on special measures which is the government's equivalent of the naughty step or you go there with the u.k. home secretary says that m i 5 has taken immediate and substantial steps to comply with the law social media lawyer here cohen believes though that no one will be punished. it is very clear to him a fact is not complying with the law some of the information 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 high likely date that would have been leaked to the public maybe to the newspaper maybe there would have been even. leaked leaks of the data to do all sorts of organisations june 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. now nearly $250.00 survivors and relatives of the victims of the grand fell tower tragedy in london assuming 3 u.s. firms that made materials used at the residential complex they claim the building materials facilitate the spread of the devastating fire in 2017 some of the

materials and banned from use on u.s. skyscrapers prompting accusations of double standards. our comics sent the message that foreign lives are worth less than american lives and that it is acceptable to expose people outside the united states to dangerous to which people in the united states would not be exposed but also your names are conic whose exterior cladding was highly flammable and help spread the flames quickly it also names will pull to the maker the refrigerator that's believed to have caused the fire and insulation made by seller texas said to have released cyanide gas leading to further victims. and. i was.

with all 3 companies have expressed their sympathies with the victims whirlpool also noted that 2 separate probes failed to find fault with its refrigerator so the tech said it insulation was just one element of the cladding system used on the tower and are conic said it would respond in court when we spoke to peter herbert a co-founder of p. and e. lawyers for grand fell he says that multinationals who are found guilty of negligence will likely be punished. the united states does have a very little good and 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 perish because 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 and residents and that 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 we individuals the ground so stop that so much going to go you to real benefits for those of their families who have been bereaved people who are often the breadwinners and therefore if that is right then that must be part of a just settlement. u.s. prosecutors have made a formal request to the case for the extradition of the weekly co-founder julian

assange 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 and government computer an extradition hearing will be held on friday assigned his father says his son is currently recovering from dramatic weight loss this is a video filmed inside the prison and obtained by artie's ruptly video agency last month during a sandra's move to a medical board in prison and this too will to appear in court fire video link for a hearing we can lead to editor in chief says a santa will not get a fair trial. i don't believe that we are going to win this with legal argument there is no chance the julian will get a fair trial here in the u.k. or in the u.s. of course. unless there's a change of reporting that people actually start speaking out we're not talking about a prosecution we're talking about a persecution or sandra's father paid him

a visit at belmarsh expressing concerns over his health and possible extradition preach to tory actions in states against somebody who is not a citizen. soldier. doing. pretty well the reason our car. will work with. the worst sanjay is serving a 50 week term in you case 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 quito ended his 7 year silence if convicted in the u.s. he could face a sentence of up to 175 years in prison and while gina sanj waits his fate his former press secretary is refusing to extradite an alleged american fraudster to

the u.s. the ecuadorian president let him or a know has personally blocked proceedings citing national sovereignty reasons humanitarian concerns and international law we asked wiki leaks activist clark stoically why the 2 cases are being treated so differently. don't point that this thing it's very hypocrite always very sure 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 major. government organizations are committing fraud or committing war crimes and so forth. and you know that. the messenger is going to be the one that keeps going you know walk away the fact that america is it's always with a 100 percent factual. maybe people need to start reading the

facts of the matter rather good close to preserve to write. another news almost $80000.00 people have signed a petition demanding that a sleep drop criminal proceedings against the german captain pay the 35 year old the leventon rescue ship is accused of abetting illegal immigration that after she personally assisted in the rescue of more than a 1000 migrants at risk of drowning in unsafe dinghies as they attempt to cross the mediterranean sea to reach europe with more on the story here is an option. 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 event of boat in august 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 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 boat 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 italian 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 without probable cause there is much truth through 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 not want any more 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 dear clem could be losing

her battle at sea and on. money for nationality reporting from germany. but although the italian authorities say that their anti migrant policy is a success rise organizations do say lives is still being put at risk. pretty much and now your sense to 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 migrants 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 all dissent in this because that is no agreement to that european level for the resettlement of the asylum seekers and therefore easily could have become just the container of all asylum seekers waiting for

maybe resettlement in other european countries the 1st thing is to return the european level and the established leaders rooms that apply to all member states so the country of 1st arrival we could say it doesn't become an old saw 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. washing i think this morning good to have a company going to take a quick break we're back they say it's all. recent

high level controversy surrounding you tube clearly demonstrates the online universe and freedom of speech are not on the same page the plot from says it wants to ban extremism it is probably fair to say most would agree on this the problem is how you tube defines this concept. we are in a strange situation where everybody is making a lot of noise about military action against iran but nobody in the part of that alliance actually wants to do it. there's no desire for it so do you hope that iran makes a mistake. somehow. and then some kind of confrontation and then the iranians will be forced to come to the table you know begging for some kind of solution on american terms but you know i think that is dreaming that's a pipe dream.

again that the russian investigative journalist even good enough has been released from house arrest with all charges against him he had been accused of illegal drug possession with intent to distribute he claimed was a trumped up case over his journalistic activity officials are now saying the evidence that was reeks am and found to be invalid was met by cheering crowds of supporters. i was. there a few who were here 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 us or think you know a new term to come to terms with what's happened it's right i should fight for

it wasn't. what he was detained on thursday with police officers claiming they had found drugs on him and that his flat he said the evidence had been planted in retaliation for his investigative journalism and the offices 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 2 high ranking moscow police generals over the case or calling of the rest bar to 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 even going off independent political analyst alexandra bruno says that 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. 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 their opinions and support for go on half freely 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. in new york times has officially stopped publishing

political cartoons the move comes just over a month after there was a strong backlash against the karting featuring a blind president trump led by the israeli prime minister in the form of a guide dog one of the papers long time contributors 1st revealed that cartoons would be dropped. the new york times all and all political cartoons are just learned we saw through a publisher syndicated no 2 new yorker to their cause to scandal for me this is the end of an adventure begin to him 2 years ago besides announcing the newspaper's decision cartoonist patrick should pass a claim complained about moralistic mobs influencing the news rooms in his post he stressed that without humor we are all dead in new york times says she's an apology soon after the offending cartoon was published the disputed image of donald trump in many netanyahu was the work of antonio whate'er and tunis back in may he hit

back 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 did cause a poor 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 yes there was a terrible lapse in judgment to print that cartoon so polish guys and have a keener eye free offensive cartoons john and art from completely of the political cartoonist 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 this 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 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 lawmakers in home cold have delayed getting on a controversial bill after tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets were looking at some live pictures from then out of the bay would stay would enable the semi autonomous region to extradite suspects to mainland china pro-democracy activists say that that would see too much control to beijing and in hong kong special status they think it would enable politically motivated that physicians they say fortunes of the bill say it is necessary to prosecute crimes committed by hong kong residents in china yuma shops banks and enterprises their employees the day off to protest on wednesday on sunday over a 1000000 people in hong kong took to the streets of the same issue. he watching us

a thanks me company this morning we're back again with more nice if you would 35. quantitative easing a 4 q.e. 4 is now well under way can't taper a ponzi scheme no economics matters only in money printing and stock manipulation. why a paradise with some around 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 but often in day you have many of these people who have 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. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to try to be for us this is what before 3 of them or can't be good. interested always in the winds

and that's how. this city mall. seal welcome you all just normal guy called. a memory a little you know well you know but you know if in your motion cruiser. it was a march. the point. was to be with the one that. will. lead to the need for each. lead you to surround us. monday morning sunday evening you believe there are these which. gets to the local which is based on what. you own what one would your means need to suggest to start to look

at your bullshit a little. ruthless and shoot. the theory with. you know which is the more. cheerful. greetings and salyut. let's kick things off with a new scandal in the world of big brother talk watchers this week just as the us government law enforcement agencies multiple airlines and the tech giants of silicon valley were singing the praises of the magical wondrous convenience of importance of facial recognition technology a major blow to their manufactured reality landed in the form of a cyber attack on monday busby. in other outlets report of a u.s.

customs and border protection sub contractor suffered a data breach that exposed the photos of tens of thousands of travelers coming in and out of the united states the breech consisted of identifying photos and license plate images taken over a month and a half of a single port of entry and it involved close to $100000.00 travelers and while according to officials no other identifying information was included with the photos and no passport or other travel document photos were compromised that hasn't stopped the criticism and questions from flowing have been greer deputy director of the advocacy group fight for the future correctly points busy out this is a bombshell even if even if you 100 percent trust the u.s. government with their biometric information which you shouldn't this is a reminder that once your face is scanned and stored in a database it's easily shared across government agencies it could be stolen by hackers and other governments etc etc. customs and border patrol has been in

a tizzy as a play trying to roll out day by old men trick entry exit system at all u.s. airports and the news of this hack could further sour the public's opinion of that so as the fight between convenience privacy and security heats up i think it's time to start watching the hawks. pretty. good looks like. it's really. easy to pull out of it. like you know what i got. was that we. would. think. that. this is. the. world we're going to watch. and i'm and i'm definitely in the system if you recognize that when i traveled recently about a month ago i had you have all.
