that weight loss songes father said that he thought his son's weight had stabilized also expressed concerns about this extradition and julian assange is father says that if his son is extradited then this is the slippery slope for journalism to. or actions or words against somebody. who just. threw him. in prison for the reason are. more. rigorous back in april julian assad was forcibly removed from the ecuadorian embassy where he'd sought a silent for around 7 years he sought that asylum back in 2012 following the fact that there were accusations of sexual assaults brought

to him by individuals in sweden that were being pursued by the authorities now julian assault has always denied those allegations of sexual assault and he said that they were a pretext for moving him to sweden and then to be able to be extradited directly to the usa from there now this all spans form a massive dump of classified military documents this was provided to the wiki leaks co-founder to the website by a former u.s. private chelsea manning since then the u.s. government has the searing julian this source for the fact that the wiki leaks co-founder on the website published those classified documents which showed alleged war crimes being committed by u.s. soldiers in iraq. during a found a way to his fate his former protector ecuador is refusing to extradite an alleged american france or to the u.s. or during present one and miranda has personally blocked proceedings citing

national sovereignty reasons humanitarian concerns and international law we asked where he weeks activist park stokely wire to cases are being treated so differently . i don't want double standards very hypocrite always very showy of the morals and ethics of these governments you know the message that we queue leaks has been publishing as been the truth showing that these you know 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 the mare is it's always with a 100 percent factual evidence and. maybe people need to start reading the facts of the matter rather goodloe through a prism of. nearly $250.00

survivors and relatives of the victims of the grunfeld tower tragedy in london are suing 3 u.s. firms that made materials used on the block of apartments it's claimed they facilitated the spread of the devastating fire in 2017 some of the materials are banned from use on u.s. skyscrapers something accusations of double standards are comics and 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 last names plotting producer our comic who's product was highly flammable something that helped the grenfell fire spread rapidly and also names whirlpool the maker of the refrigerator that's believed to have caused the fire and insulation that made by cell attacks is said to have released cyanide gas leading to further avoidable deaths.

all 3 companies named in the lawsuit expressed sympathy for the victims while paul also noted that 2 separate probes failed to find fault with its refrigerator teletext said its inflation was just one element of the cladding system used on the tower and iconic said it would respond in court co-founder of b m e a lawyer for grand help peter herbert the says multinationals found guilty of negligence i likely to be punished the united states does have a very little good

a friendly culture whereby if a multinational national company has been guilty often selling negative product or a child product without sufficient safeguards then they will take those previously been cases in the united states where the building collapses resulted in damages of around about $230000000.00 to be distributed to the victims and residents and not tragedy i believe there's a 2 year limitation period in the united states that action must be commenced the full 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 the legal position and at the end of the day the question is are the individuals a grant so stuff that so much going to get you to real benefits for those of the families who have been bereaved and people who are often the. it's not she's right

but that must be costly just. almost $80000.00 people have signed a petition demanding that italy drop criminal proceedings against german boat captain pia clamp the 35 year old skipper of a rescue ship is accused of abetting illegal immigration that's after she personally assisted in the rescue of more than 1000 migrants they were at risk of drowning in unsafe dinies as they attempted to cross the mediterranean to reach europe where if national has more. this is the 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 status is unwavering get off we have witnessed 200 women and

children have to face if they are denied safe travel by ignoring the submarine boats of european warships and expelling libyan militias from brutal people who shelter refugees from unsuitable overcrowded scraps and beat them up sometimes too late italian investigators have accused her crew of colluding with smugglers with photos leaked to the media legend 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 crackdown they tell 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 it 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 not want any more sheen able the trafficking of people that's illegal she's responsible for the so-called refugee crisis there is a clear splits 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 on shore reef nationality reporting from germany. although the italian authorities say that their anti migrant policy is

a success rights organizations say lives are still being put at risk. but imagine your insta start of the year there have been around 2000 rivals by sea with using small boats sailing boats rowing boats whatever they have to cross the mediterranean 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 didn't intervene soon it will be a sea of blood the reason why all dissent in this because there 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 to the european level and establish clear rules that apply to all member states so the

country of 1st arrival we could say doesn't become also 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 to europe is not capable of device in any kind of solution. the l.g. to community has had out at the vatican for its latest gardens that questions the existing principles of gender identity a paper is meant to be a bed to tackle what the catholic institution calls an educational crisis. delves into the reason for the sudden outrage over rhetoric the vatican has been sitting on for so long. now you'd be forgiven for thinking the catholic church doesn't really know what turns the public on and you'd be right in fact it's just dealt a mosque a class and turning people off the vatican has released

a paper which says there are only 2 genders male and female and it's called male and female he created them just so that was no misunderstanding if we wish to take an approach to the question of gender theory that is based on the path of dialogue is vital to bear in mind the distinction between the ideology of gender on the one hand and the whole field of research on gender that the human sciences of one's taken on the other so according to the catholics men are men and women are women and anyone who sees themselves otherwise is provocative poses a threat to the institution of marriage and seeks to overthrow nature itself unsurprisingly it's head up you know note amongst those who are outraged to find that any if you want gender theory other than that of course exist by refusing to engage in dialogue with people about their lived experiences or so from the standing in faith the vatican remains in the dark ages for most in a false teaching the law is a myth rumor unfold so the paper's not popular partly because it sounds like it's

from the time before christ which it is it's filled with quotes from the bible after all and because it was released during pride month the 30 days every year the world celebrates the l g b t community quit but wait no where in the paper does it say being gay is sinful and in fact it condemns any discrimination and violence against people the number of men and women who have deep seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible they must be accepted with respect compassion and sensitivity every sign off and just destroy a nation in their regard should be avoided now it's surely not news to outrage friends that the church struggles with accepting homosexuality and transgenderism and when they do throw in that 2 pennies worth met the by. as huge as one bishop in rhode island planned when he decided to chat to his few on pride month a reminder that catholics should not support or attend a pride month of vents held in june they promote

a culture and encouraging t.v.'s that are contrary to catholic faith and morals. it seems the people who replied must of left the christian values of kindness out the door we woke up this morning and we saw the bishop's tweet and we were honestly flabbergasted he is like the don't trump of the catholic church goes on twitter and spews out hate my catholic children will be attending pride events as this. guy always taught me what would jesus do yeah i know jesus would be attending that pride parade with cryo also with pride and i also know that god is love and jesus is love and love is love the bishop apologized and decided to spread the love but the question begging to be asta is why the surprise kids the church isn't known for being big on reform is it really shocking it's not breaking it's happened it's a pun intended coming out the british domestic intelligence service and my fire is

in hot water over hoarding citizens data the details after this short break. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. quantitative easing for q.e. 4 is now well under way can't taper a ponzi scheme no economics matters only money printing and stock manipulation. 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 does it 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. welcome back british internal security service and my 5 was under fire for illegally holding on to bulk data collected on citizens the situation came to light during a case brought by civil rights group liberty m i 5 have been holding on to people's day time ordinary people's date on your dates on my data illegally for many is not

only that they've been trying to keep their really serious errors secret secrets from the security services watch dog who's supposed to know about them secret from the home office secret from the prime minister and secrets from the public during the trial it emerged m i 5 was already aware of the failures 3 years ago r.t. is polling boyko picks up a 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 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 5 handled data the report 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 on comparing it to a school being placed on special measures which is the government's equivalent of the naughty step. a week long celebration of the beautiful game is underway to mark

a year before the euro 2020 football championship kicks off russia's northern capital st petersburg is playing a leading role and alex is there for us. now off the overwhelming success of last year's world cup in russia the beautiful game is coming again to this country namely to st petersburg now exactly one year from today the euro 2020 inaugural anniversary competition will begin 1st time ever it will be held not in just one or 2 countries it will be held in 11 cities across the continent including amsterdam london and st petersburg as one of the cities so today it's all about football here in the vitus of the north now behind me you can see the football pitch some kids and adults are now strutting their stuff but just a short while ago a match of legends was held here the u.a.e. against the russian legends the absolutely incredible game which ended 16 goals to 16 goals in regulation time and it was decided on

a penalty shoot out the russians won 4 goals 23 and i had the privilege of commentating that game i will bring you all that later on my show roth take on r t but i actually managed to mingle with some of these players including from now on the money and that's a good thing as again whoever played football and watched football in their lives know these names these are legendary players i mingled with i asked them questions about what they felt about the euros next year and the prospect of while holding it in st petersburg and 10 more cities across the continent they seemed very very positive it's worth also noting that today the ticketing the official ticketing program for you a full stops so anyone can go to europe was wipes website and buy those tickets and last year i put in questions last week so i put in the question to a technical director of you a from out in color and he said that the tickets will be pretty much affordable starting at 50 euros and the cheapest ticket to the final held at london's wembley stadium iconic stadium next summer will be under $100.00

euros which is something important for the fans to know especially considering all the backlash that you have been receiving following the champions league and europa league finals but for now obviously it's all about football the full. the park here is functioning and everybody's enjoying the beautiful game in the beautiful st petersburg. police have used tear gas water cannon and pepper spray against demonstrators and hong kong where lawmakers have delayed voting on a controversial extradition bill after tens of thousands took to the streets in protest many held aloft in reference to hong kong's umbrella lucian and 2014. i think. i. think think think think think. now the bill in

question would enable the family autonomous region to extradite suspects to mainland china but activists say that would feed too much control to beijing and encroach on hong kong special status they fear a politically motivated extraditions though china argues the bill is needed to prosecute crimes by hong kong residents on the mainland numerous shops spanx and companies gave their workers the day off to protest on wednesday last sunday over a 1000000 people in the city protested the same issue. that's a news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in. so you say that preexists the end of the series if we could just let josie marino away so we decided to treetops used to a very special farewell party by going to. have
